Galaxy Zoo: Passive Red Spirals (2009)

Masters, Karen L., Mosleh, Moein, Romer, A. Kathy, Nichol, Robert C., Bamford, Steven P., Schawinski, Kevin, ...

We study the spectroscopic properties and environments of red spiral galaxies found by the Galaxy Zoo project. By carefully selecting face-on, disk dominated spirals we construct a sample of truly...

Galaxy Zoo: Exploring the Motivations of Citizen Science Volunteers (2009)

Raddick, M. Jordan, Bracey, Georgia, Gay, Pamela L., Lintott, Chris J., Murray, Phil, Schawinski, Kevin, ...

The Galaxy Zoo citizen science website invites anyone with an Internet connection to participate in research by classifying galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. As of April 2009, more than...

Galaxy Zoo: Reproducing Galaxy Morphologies Via Machine Learning (2009)

Banerji, Manda, Lahav, Ofer, Lintott, Chris J., Abdalla, Filipe B., Schawinski, Kevin, Andreescu, Dan, ...

We present morphological classifications obtained using machine learning for objects in SDSS DR7 that have been classified by Galaxy Zoo into three classes namely spirals, ellipticals and...

Destruction of Molecular Gas Reservoirs in Early-Type Galaxies by Active Galactic Nucleus Feedback (2009)

Schawinski, Kevin, Lintott, Chris J., Thomas, Daniel, Kaviraj, Sugata, Viti, Serena, Silk, Joseph, ...

Residual star formation at late times in early-type galaxies and their progenitors must be suppressed in order to explain the population of red, passively evolving systems we see today. Likewise,...

Galaxy Zoo: Disentangling the Environmental Dependence of Morphology and Colour (2008)

Skibba, Ramin A., Bamford, Steven P., Nichol, Robert C., Lintott, Chris J., Andreescu, Dan, Edmondson, Edward M., ...

We analyze the environmental dependence of galaxy morphology and colour with two-point clustering statistics, using data from the Galaxy Zoo, the largest sample of visually classified morphologies...

Destruction of Molecular Gas Reservoirs in Early-Type Galaxies by Active Galactic Nucleus Feedback (2008)

Schawinski, Kevin, Lintott, Chris J., Thomas, Daniel, Kaviraj, Sugata, Viti, Serena, Silk, Joseph, ...

Residual star formation at late times in early-type galaxies and their progenitors must be suppressed in order to explain the population of red, passively evolving systems we see today. Likewise,...

Galaxy Zoo: the dependence of morphology and colour on environment (2008)

Bamford, Steven P., Nichol, Robert C., Baldry, Ivan K., Land, Kate, Lintott, Chris J., Schawinski, Kevin, ...

We analyse the relationships between galaxy morphology, colour, environment and stellar mass using data for over 100,000 objects from Galaxy Zoo, the largest sample of visually classified...

Galaxy Zoo : Morphologies derived from visual inspection of galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (2008)

Lintott, Chris J., Schawinski, Kevin, Slosar, Anze, Land, Kate, Bamford, Steven, Thomas, Daniel, ...

In order to understand the formation and subsequent evolution of galaxies one must first distinguish between the two main morphological classes of massive systems: spirals and early-type systems....
