Galaxy Zoo : Chiral correlation function of galaxy spins ⋆
Galaxy Zoo is the first study of nearby galaxies that contains reliable information about the spiral sense of rotation of galaxy arms for a sizeable number of galaxies. We measure the correlation function of spin chirality (the sense in which galaxies appear to be spinning) of face-on spiral galaxies in angular, real and projected spaces. Our results indicate a hint of positive correlation at s...
متن کاملGalaxy Zoo Supernovae
This paper presents the first results from a new citizen science project: Galaxy Zoo Supernovae. This proof-of-concept project uses members of the public to identify supernova candidates from the latest generation of wide-field imaging transient surveys. We describe the Galaxy Zoo Supernovae operations and scoring model, and demonstrate the effectiveness of this novel method using imaging data ...
متن کاملCorrelation Function of Galaxy Groups
We use the Updated Zwicky Catalog of galaxies (Falco et al. 1999) to generate a catalog of groups, by means of a friend-of-friend algorithm. The groups identified have 4 or more members and a surrounding density contrast, δρ/ρ = 80. They cover the region −4 < δ < 90, |b| > 20 spanning over the radial velocity range of 2000 km s < cz < 15000 km s. The total sample (hereafter GUZC) comprises 517 ...
متن کاملGalaxy Zoo: quantifying morphological indicators of galaxy interaction
We use Galaxy Zoo 2 visual classifications to study the morphological signatures of interaction between similar-mass galaxy pairs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We find that many observable features correlate with projected pair separation – not only obvious indicators of merging, disturbance and tidal tails, but also more regular features, such as spiral arms and bars. These trends are robus...
متن کاملGalaxy Zoo Challenge: Classify Galaxy Morphologies from Images
Image classi cation has been an important subject in computer vision. The recent kaggle challenge provides an interesting dataset of galaxy images. The goal is to build a predictive algorithm to extract indicators for the galaxy morphologies as viewed in human eyes. This provides a chance to test how state-of-the-art computer vision and machine learning methods can be applied to understand a da...
