SDSS-IV MaNGA-resolved star formation and molecular gas properties of green valley galaxies: a first look with ALMA and MaNGA (2017)
Journal Article
Lin, L., Belfiore, F., Pan, H., Bothwell, M. S., Hsieh, P., Huang, S., …Thomas, D. (2017). SDSS-IV MaNGA-resolved star formation and molecular gas properties of green valley galaxies: a first look with ALMA and MaNGA. Astrophysical Journal, 851(1), 1-9. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/aa96ae

We study the role of cold gas in quenching star formation in the green valley by analyzing ALMA 12CO (1–0) observations of three galaxies with resolved optical spectroscopy from the MaNGA survey. We present resolution-matched maps of the star formati...

Galaxy Zoo: secular evolution of barred galaxies from structural decomposition of multiband images (2017)
Journal Article
Kruk, S. J., Lintott, C. J., Bamford, S. P., Masters, K. L., Simmons, B. D., Häußler, B., …Kelvin, L. (2018). Galaxy Zoo: secular evolution of barred galaxies from structural decomposition of multiband images. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 473(4), https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx2605

We present the results of two-component (disc+bar) and three-component (disc+bar+bulge) multiwavelength 2D photometric decompositions of barred galaxies in five Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) bands (ugriz). This sample of ?3500 nearby (z

SDSS-IV MaNGA: the different quenching histories of fast and slow rotators (2017)
Journal Article
Smethurst, R. J., Masters, K. L., Lintott, C. J., Weijmans, A., Merrifield, M. R., Penny, S. J., …Nichol, R. C. (2018). SDSS-IV MaNGA: the different quenching histories of fast and slow rotators. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 473(2), 2679-2687. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx2547

Do the theorised different formation mechanisms of fast and slow rotators produce an observable difference in their star formation histories? To study this we identify quenching slow rotators in the MaNGA sample by selecting those which lie below the...

Galaxy Zoo and SPARCFIRE: constraints on spiral arm formation mechanisms from spiral arm number and pitch angles (2017)
Journal Article
Hart, R. E., Bamford, S. P., Hayes, W. B., Cardamone, C. N., Keel, W. C., Kruk, S. J., …Smethurst, R. J. (2017). Galaxy Zoo and SPARCFIRE: constraints on spiral arm formation mechanisms from spiral arm number and pitch angles. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 472(2), 2263-2279. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx2137

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 sample of 6222 SDSS spiral galaxies is selected. We use the machine visi...

Galaxy Zoo: finding offset discs and bars in SDSS galaxies (2017)
Journal Article
Kruk, S. J., Lintott, C. J., Simmons, B. D., Bamford, S. P., Cardamone, C. N., Fortson, L., …Smethurst, R. J. (2017). Galaxy Zoo: finding offset discs and bars in SDSS galaxies. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 469(3), 3363-3373. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx1026

We use multiwavelength Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) images and Galaxy Zoo morphologies to identify a sample of ∼270 late-type galaxies with an off-centre bar. We measure offsets in the range 0.2–2.5 kpc between the photometric centres of the stell... Read More about Galaxy Zoo: finding offset discs and bars in SDSS galaxies.

Galaxy Zoo: the interplay of quenching mechanisms in the group environment (2017)
Journal Article
Smethurst, R. J., Lintott, C., Bamford, S., Hart, R., Kruk, S., Masters, K., …Simmons, B. (2017). Galaxy Zoo: the interplay of quenching mechanisms in the group environment. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 469(3), 3670-3687. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx973

Does the environment of a galaxy directly influence the quenching history of a galaxy? Here, we investigate the detailed morphological structures and star formation histories of a sample of SDSS group galaxies with both classifications from Galaxy Zo...
