    • Galaxy Zoo : Building the low-mass end of the red sequence with local post-starburst galaxies 

      Wong, O.I.; Schawinski, K.; Kaviraj, S.; Lintott, C.; Darg, D.; Masters, K.L.; Nichol, R.C.; Thomas, D.; Keel, W.C.; Bamford, S.P.; Andreescu, D.; Murray, P.; Raddick, M.J.; Szalay, A.; Vandenberg, J. (2012-02-01)
      We present a study of local post-starburst galaxies (PSGs) using the photometric and spectroscopic observations from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the results from the Galaxy Zoo project. We find that the majority of ...

    • Galaxy Zoo : Dust and molecular gas in early-type galaxies with prominent dust lanes 

      Kaviraj, S.; Ting, Y. S.; Bureau, M.; Shabala, S.S.; Crockett, R.M.; Silk, J.; Lintott, C.; Smith, A.; Keel, W.C.; Masters, K.L.; Schawinski, K.; Bamford, S.P. (2012-06-01)
      We explore the properties of dust and associated molecular gas in 352 nearby (0.01 <z <0.07) early-type galaxies (ETGs) with prominent dust lanes, drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Two-thirds of these 'dusty ...

    • Galaxy Zoo : Dust lane early-type galaxies are tracers of recent, gas-rich minor mergers 

      Shabala, S.S.; Ting, Y. S.; Kaviraj, S.; Lintott, C.; Crockett, R.M.; Silk, J.; Sarzi, M.; Schawinski, K.; Bamford, S.P.; Edmondson, E. (2012-06-01)
      We present the second of two papers concerning the origin and evolution of local early-type galaxies exhibiting dust features. We use optical and radio data to examine the nature of active galactic nucleus (AGN) activity ...

    • Galaxy Zoo Green Peas: discovery of a class of compact extremely star-forming galaxies 

      Cardamone, C.; Schawinski, K.; Sarzi, M.; Bamford, S.; Bennert, N.; Urry, C.M.; Lintott, C.; Keel, W.; Parejko, J.; Nichol, R.C.; Thomas, D.; Andreescu, D.; Murray, P.; Raddick, M.J.; Slosar, A.; Szalay, A.; Vandenberg, J. (2009)
      We investigate a class of rapidly growing emission line galaxies, known as 'Green Peas', first noted by volunteers in the Galaxy Zoo project because of their peculiar bright green colour and small size, unresolved in Sloan ...

    • Galaxy Zoo: a sample of blue early-type galaxies at low redshift 

      Schawinski, K.; Lintott, C.; Kaviraj, S.; Khochfar, S.; Land, K.; Thomas, D.; Bamford, S. P.; Nichol, R.C.; Sarzi, M.; Andreescu, D.; Murray, P.; Raddick, M.J.; Szalay, A.; Vandenberg, J.; Slosar, A.; Yi, S.K. (2009)
      We report the discovery of a population of nearby, blue early-type galaxies with high star formation rates (0.5 < SFR < 50 M⊙ yr−1) . They are identified by their visual morphology as provided by Galaxy Zoo for Sloan Digital ...

    • Galaxy Zoo: Bulgeless galaxies with growing black holes 

      Simmons, B.; Lintott, C.; Kaviraj, S.; Schawinski, K.; Han, A.; Urry, C.M.; Moran, E.C.; Masters, K.L.; Nichol, R.C.; Willett, K.W.; Bamford, S.P. (2013-03)
      The growth of supermassive black holes appears to be driven by galaxy mergers, violent merger-free processes and/or 'secular' processes. In order to quantify the effects of secular evolution on black hole growth, we study ...

    • Galaxy Zoo: Hanny's Voorwerp, a quasar light echo? 

      Lintott, C.; Schawinski, K.; Keel, W.; Van Arkel, H.; Bennert, N.; Edmondson, E.; Thomas, D.; Smith, Daniel; Herbert, P.D.; Jarvis, M.J.; Virani, S.; Andreescu, D.; Bamford, S.; Land, K.; Murray, P.; Nichol, R.C.; Raddick, M.J.; Slosar, A.; Szalay, A.; Vandenberg, J. (2009)
      We report the discovery of an unusual object near the spiral galaxy IC 2497, discovered by visual inspection of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) as part of the Galaxy Zoo project. The object, known as Hanny's Voorwerp, ...

    • Galaxy Zoo: the fundamentally different co-evolution of supermassive black holes and their early- and late-type host galaxies 

      Schawinski, K.; Urry, C.M.; Virani, S.; Coppi, P.; Bamford, S.; Treister, E.; Lintott, C.; Sarzi, M.; Keel, W.; Kaviraj, S.; Cardamone, C.; Masters, K.L.; Ross, N.P.; Andreescu, D.; Murray, P.; Nichol, R.C.; Raddick, M.J.; Slosar, A.; Szalay, A.; Thomas, D.; Vandenberg, J. (2010)
      We use data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and visual classifications of morphology from the Galaxy Zoo project to study black hole growth in the nearby universe (z < 0.05) and to break down the active galactic nucleus ...

    • The Red Radio Ring: a gravitationally lensed hyperluminous infrared radio galaxy at z = 2.553 discovered through the citizen science project SPACE WARPS
