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…
Galaxy Zoo: constraining the origin of spiral arms
Ross E. Hart, Steven P. Bamford, William C. Keel +4
Since the discovery that the majority of low-redshift galaxies exhibit some level of spiral structure, a number of theories have been proposed as to why these patterns exist. A pop…
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 (…
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…
