The frequency of dust lanes in edge-on spiral galaxies identified by galaxy Zoo in KiDS Imaging of GAMA Targets (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved.. 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 fract...

Planet Four: Craters—Optimizing task workflow to improve volunteer engagement and crater counting performance (2019)
Journal Article

Virtual citizen science platforms allow nonscientists to take part in scientific research across a range of disciplines, including planetary science. What is required of the volunteer can vary considerably in terms of task type, variety, judgment req...

OMEGA – OSIRIS mapping of emission-line galaxies in A901/2 – V. The rich population of jellyfish galaxies in the multi-cluster system Abell 901/2 (2019)
Journal Article

We present the results of a systematic search and characterisation of galaxies with morphological signatures of ram-pressure stripping, known as jellyfish galaxies, in the multi-cluster system A901/2, at z ∼ 0.165, as part of the OMEGA survey. By vis... Read More about OMEGA – OSIRIS mapping of emission-line galaxies in A901/2 – V. The rich population of jellyfish galaxies in the multi-cluster system Abell 901/2.
