Galaxy Zoo 1 : Data Release of Morphological Classifications for nearly 900,000 galaxies
Chris Lintott, Kevin Schawinski, Steven Bamford +11
Morphology is a powerful indicator of a galaxy's dynamical and merger history. It is strongly correlated with many physical parameters, including mass, star formation history and t…
Galaxy Zoo : 'Hanny's Voorwerp', a quasar light echo?
Chris Lintott, Kevin Schawinski, William Keel +17
We report the discovery of an unusual object near the spiral galaxy IC 2497, discovered by visual inspection of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) as part of the Galaxy Zoo projec…
Galaxy Zoo: A correlation between coherence of galaxy spin chirality and star formation efficiency
Raul Jimenez, Anze Slosar, Licia Verde +11
We report on the finding of a correlation between galaxies' past star formation activity and the degree to which neighbouring galaxies rotation axes are aligned. This is obtained b…
Galaxy Zoo: A sample of blue early-type galaxies at low redshift
Kevin Schawinski, Chris Lintott, Daniel Thomas +13
We report the discovery of a population of nearby, blue early-type galaxies with high star formation rates (0.5 < SFR < 50 Msun/yr). They are identified by their visual morphology…
Galaxy Zoo: Chiral correlation function of galaxy spins
Anze Slosar, Kate Land, Steven Bamford +9
Galaxy Zoo is the first study of nearby galaxies that contains reliable information about the spiral sense of rotation of galaxy arms for a sizeable number of galaxies. We measure…
Living in a Void: Testing the Copernican Principle with Distant Supernovae
Timothy Clifton, Pedro G. Ferreira, Kate Land
A fundamental presupposition of modern cosmology is the Copernican Principle; that we are not in a central, or otherwise special region of the Universe. Studies of Type Ia supernov…
