Quantifying the Poor Purity and Completeness of Morphological Samples Selected by Galaxy Colour
Rebecca J. Smethurst, Karen L. Masters, Brooke D. Simmons +7
The galaxy population is strongly bimodal in both colour and morphology, and the two measures correlate strongly, with most blue galaxies being late-types (spirals) and most early-…
Kiloparsec-scale AGN Outflows and Feedback in Merger-Free Galaxies
Rebecca J. Smethurst, Brooke D. Simmons, Alison Coil +7
Recent observations and simulations have challenged the long-held paradigm that mergers are the dominant mechanism driving the growth of both galaxies and supermassive black holes…
Galaxy Zoo: Stronger bars facilitate quenching in star forming galaxies
Tobias Géron, R. J. Smethurst, Chris Lintott +4
We have used Galaxy Zoo DECaLS (GZD) to study strong and weak bars in disk galaxies. Out of the 314,000 galaxies in GZD, we created a volume-limited sample (0.01 < z < 0.05, Mr < -…
Accurate Identification of Galaxy Mergers with Stellar Kinematics
R. Nevin, L. Blecha, J. Comerford +9
To determine the importance of merging galaxies to galaxy evolution, it is necessary to design classification tools that can identify different types and stages of merging galaxies…
Galaxy Zoo DECaLS: Detailed Visual Morphology Measurements from Volunteers and Deep Learning for 314,000 Galaxies
Mike Walmsley, Chris Lintott, Tobias Geron +15
We present Galaxy Zoo DECaLS: detailed visual morphological classifications for Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey images of galaxies within the SDSS DR8 footprint. Deeper DECaLS ima…
