Untangling galaxy components: full spectral bulge–disc decomposition (2016)
Journal Article

To ascertain whether photometric decompositions of galaxies into bulges and discs are astrophysically meaningful, we have developed a new technique to decompose spectral data cubes into separate bulge and disc components, subject only to the constrai...

SDSS-IV MaNGA: bulge–disc decomposition of IFU data cubes (BUDDI) (2016)
Journal Article

With the availability of large integral field unit (IFU) spectral surveys of nearby galaxies, there is now the potential to extract spectral information from across the bulges and discs of galaxies in a systematic way. This information can address qu... Read More about SDSS-IV MaNGA: bulge–disc decomposition of IFU data cubes (BUDDI).

Galaxy Zoo: quantitative visual morphological classifications for 48 000 galaxies from CANDELS (2016)
Journal Article

We present quantified visual morphologies of approximately 48 000 galaxies observed in three Hubble Space Telescope legacy fields by the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS) and classified by participants in the Ga...

Galaxy Zoo: Morphological classifications for 120 000 galaxies in HST legacy imaging (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 The Authors. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society. We present the data release paper for the Galaxy Zoo: Hubble (GZH) project. This is the third phase in a large effort to measure reliable, detailed... Read More about Galaxy Zoo: Morphological classifications for 120 000 galaxies in HST legacy imaging.

Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): galaxy colour gradients versus colour, structure, and luminosity (2016)
Journal Article

Using single-component fits to SDSS/UKIDSS images of galaxies in the G09 region of the GAMA survey we study radial colour gradients across the galaxy population. We use the multi-wavelength information provided by MegaMorph analysis of galaxy light p...

Galaxy Zoo: comparing the demographics of spiral arm number and a new method for correcting redshift bias (2016)
Journal Article

The majority of galaxies in the local Universe exhibit spiral structure with a variety of forms. Many galaxies possess two prominent spiral arms, some have more, while others display a many-armed flocculent appearance. Spiral arms are associated with...

EU-FP7-iMARS: ANALYSIS OF MARS MULTI-RESOLUTION IMAGES USING AUTO-COREGISTRATION, DATA MINING AND CROWD SOURCE TECHNIQUES: PROCESSED RESULTS – A FIRST LOOK (2016)
Journal Article

Understanding planetary atmosphere-surface exchange and extra-terrestrial-surface formation processes within our Solar System is one of the fundamental goals of planetary science research. There has been a revolution in planetary surface observations...

Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): understanding the wavelength dependence of galaxy structure with bulge-disc decompositions (2016)
Journal Article

With a large sample of bright, low-redshift galaxies with optical–near-IR imaging from the GAMA survey we use bulge-disc decompositions to understand the wavelength-dependent behaviour of single-Sersic structural measurements. We denote the variation... Read More about Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): understanding the wavelength dependence of galaxy structure with bulge-disc decompositions.

Galaxy Zoo: Mergers – Dynamical models of interacting galaxies (2016)
Journal Article

The dynamical history of most merging galaxies is not well understood. Correlations between galaxy interaction and star formation have been found in previous studies, but require the context of the physical history of merging systems for full insight...

The Moon Zoo citizen science project: preliminary results for the Apollo 17 landing site (2016)
Journal Article

Moon Zoo is a citizen science project that utilises internet crowd-sourcing techniques. Moon Zoo users are asked to review high spatial resolution images from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC), onboard NASA's LRO spacecraft, and perform...
