Journal Article
Walmsley, M., Lintott, C., Géron, T., Kruk, S., Krawczyk, C., Willett, K. W., …MacMillan, C. (2022). Galaxy Zoo DECaLS: Detailed visual morphology measurements from volunteers and deep learning for 314 000 galaxies. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 509(3), 3966-3988. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stab2093

We present Galaxy Zoo DECaLS: detailed visual morphological classifications for Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey images of galaxies within the SDSS DR8 footprint. Deeper DECaLS images (r = 23.6 versus r = 22.2 from SDSS) reveal spiral arms, weak bars...

Quantifying Non-parametric Structure of High-redshift Galaxies with Deep Learning (2021)
Journal Article
Tohill, C., Ferreira, L., Conselice, C. J., Bamford, S. P., & Ferrari, F. (2021). Quantifying Non-parametric Structure of High-redshift Galaxies with Deep Learning. Astrophysical Journal, 916(1), Article 4. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/ac033c

At high redshift, due to both observational limitations and the variety of galaxy morphologies in the early universe, measuring galaxy structure can be challenging. Non-parametric measurements such as the CAS system have thus become an important tool... Read More about Quantifying Non-parametric Structure of High-redshift Galaxies with Deep Learning.

Recovering the origins of the lenticular galaxy NGC 3115 using multiband imaging (2021)
Journal Article
Buzzo, M. L., Cortesi, A., Hernandez-Jimenez, J. A., Coccato, L., Werle, A., Beraldo e Silva, L., …Mendes de Oliveira, C. (2021). Recovering the origins of the lenticular galaxy NGC 3115 using multiband imaging. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 504(2), 2146-2167. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stab941

A detailed study of the morphology of lenticular galaxies is an important way to understand how this type of galaxy is formed and evolves over time. Decomposing a galaxy into its components (disc, bulge, bar, ...) allows recovering the colour gradien...
