Revealing the cosmic evolution of boxy/peanut-shaped bulges from HST COSMOS and SDSS
Sandor J. Kruk, Peter Erwin, Victor P. Debattista +1
Vertically thickened bars, observed in the form of boxy/peanut (B/P) bulges, are found in the majority of massive barred disc galaxies in the local Universe, including our own. B/P…
The frequency of dust lanes in edge-on spiral galaxies identified by Galaxy Zoo in KiDS imaging of GAMA targets
B. W. Holwerda, L. Kelvin, I. Baldry +20
Dust lanes bisect the plane of a typical edge-on spiral galaxy as a dark optical absorption feature. Their appearance is linked to the gravitational stability of spiral disks; the…
SDSS-IV MaNGA: Stellar Population Gradients Within Barred Galaxies
Amelia Fraser-McKelvie, Michael Merrifield, Alfonso Aragón-Salamanca +11
Bars in galaxies are thought to stimulate both inflow of material and radial mixing along them. Observational evidence for this mixing has been inconclusive so far however, limitin…
Galaxy Zoo: Probabilistic Morphology through Bayesian CNNs and Active Learning
Mike Walmsley, Lewis Smith, Chris Lintott +10
We use Bayesian convolutional neural networks and a novel generative model of Galaxy Zoo volunteer responses to infer posteriors for the visual morphology of galaxies. Bayesian CNN…
Galaxy Zoo: Unwinding the Winding Problem - Observations of Spiral Bulge Prominence and Arm Pitch Angles Suggest Local Spiral Galaxies are Winding
Karen L. Masters, Chris J. Lintott, Ross E. Hart +8
We use classifications provided by citizen scientists though Galaxy Zoo to investigate the correlation between bulge size and arm winding in spiral galaxies. Whilst the traditional…
The HI Morphology and Stellar Properties of Strongly Barred Galaxies: support for bar quenching in massive spirals
Lucy Newnham, Kelley Hess, Karen Masters +4
Galactic bars can affect the evolution of galaxies by redistributing gas in galaxies, possibly contributing to the cessation of star formation. Recent works point to 'bar quenching…
