Spatially resolved star formation and fuelling in galaxy interactions
Jorge Moreno, Paul Torrey, Sara L. Ellison +8
We investigate the spatial structure and evolution of star formation and the interstellar medium (ISM) in interacting galaxies. We use an extensive suite of parsec-scale galaxy mer…
Deep learning predictions of galaxy merger stage and the importance of observational realism
Connor Bottrell, Maan H. Hani, Hossen Teimoorinia +7
Machine learning is becoming a popular tool to quantify galaxy morphologies and identify mergers. However, this technique relies on using an appropriate set of training data to be…
Bulge plus disc and Sérsic decomposition catalogues for 16,908 galaxies in the SDSS Stripe 82 co-adds: A detailed study of the structural measurements
Connor Bottrell, Luc Simard, J. Trevor Mendel +1
Quantitative characterization of galaxy morphology is vital in enabling comparison of observations to predictions from galaxy formation theory. However, without significant overlap…
What shapes a galaxy? - Unraveling the role of mass, environment and star formation in forming galactic structure
Asa F. L. Bluck, Connor Bottrell, Hossen Teimoorinia +9
We investigate the dependence of galaxy structure on a variety of galactic and environmental parameters for ~500,000 galaxies at z<0.2, taken from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey data…
Galaxies in the Illustris simulation as seen by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey - I: Bulge+disc decompositions, methods, and biases
Connor Bottrell, Paul Torrey, Luc Simard +1
We present an image-based method for comparing the structural properties of galaxies produced in hydrodynamical simulations to real galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The ke…
