Resolved star formation and molecular gas properties of green valley galaxies: a first look with ALMA and MaNGA
Lihwai Lin, Francesco Belfiore, Hsi-An Pan +21
We study the role of cold gas in quenching star formation in the green valley by analysing ALMA CO (1-0) observations of three galaxies with resolved optical spectroscopy fr…
Galaxy Zoo: Secular evolution of barred galaxies from structural decomposition of multi-band images
Sandor J. Kruk, Chris J. Lintott, Steven P. Bamford +9
We present the results of two-component (disc+bar) and three-component (disc+bar+bulge) multiwavelength 2D photometric decompositions of barred galaxies in five SDSS bands (…
SDSS-IV MaNGA: Evidence of the importance of AGN feedback in low-mass galaxies
Samantha J. Penny, Karen L. Masters, Rebecca Smethurst +15
We present new evidence for AGN feedback in a subset of 69 quenched low-mass galaxies ( M, ) selected from the first t…
SDSS-IV MaNGA: The Different Quenching Histories of Fast and Slow Rotators
Rebecca Smethurst, Karen Masters, Chris Lintott +9
Do the theorised different formation mechanisms of fast and slow rotators produce an observable difference in their star formation histories? To study this we identify quenching sl…
Galaxy Zoo and SpArcFiRe: Constraints on spiral arm formation mechanisms from spiral arm number and pitch angles
Ross E. Hart, Steven P. Bamford, Wayne B. Hayes +7
In this paper we study the morphological properties of spiral galaxies, including measurements of spiral arm number and pitch angle. Using Galaxy Zoo 2, a stellar mass-complete sam…
Galaxy Zoo: major galaxy mergers are not a significant quenching pathway
Anna K. Weigel, Kevin Schawinski, Neven Caplar +9
We use stellar mass functions to study the properties and the significance of quenching through major galaxy mergers. In addition to SDSS DR7 and Galaxy Zoo 1 data, we use samples…
The Fourteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey and from the second phase of the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment
Bela Abolfathi, D. S. Aguado, Gabriela Aguilar +344
The fourth generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV) has been in operation since July 2014. This paper describes the second data release from this phase, and the fourtee…
Supermassive black holes in disk-dominated galaxies outgrow their bulges and co-evolve with their host galaxies
B. D. Simmons, R. J. Smethurst, C. Lintott
The deep connection between galaxies and their supermassive black holes is central to modern astrophysics and cosmology. The observed correlation between galaxy and black hole mass…
Galaxy Zoo: Finding offset discs and bars in SDSS galaxies
Sandor J. Kruk, Chris J. Lintott, Brooke D. Simmons +9
We use multi-wavelength SDSS images and Galaxy Zoo morphologies to identify a sample of late-type galaxies with an off-centre bar. We measure offsets in the range 0.2-2…
Galaxy Zoo: The interplay of quenching mechanisms in the group environment
R. J. Smethurst, C. J. Lintott, S. P. Bamford +5
Does the environment of a galaxy directly influence the quenching history of a galaxy? Here we investigate the detailed morphological structures and star formation histories of a s…
