    • 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 ...
    • A Herschel*-ATLAS study of dusty spheroids : Probing the minor-merger process in the local Universe 

      Kaviraj, S.; Rowlands, K.; Alpaslan, M.; Dunne, L.; Ting, Y. S.; Bureau, M.; Shabala, S.; Lintott, C.J.; Smith, Daniel; Agius, N.; Auld, R.; Baes, M.; Bourne, N.; Cava, A.; Clements, D. L.; Cooray, A.; Dariush, A.; de Zotti, G.; Driver, S. P.; Eales, S.; Hopwood, R.; Hoyos, C.; Ibar, E.; Maddox, S.; Michalowski, M. J.; Sansom, A. E.; Smith, M.; Valiante, E. (2013-10)
      We use multiwavelength (0.12-500 μm) photometry from Herschel-ATLAS, WISE, UKIDSS, SDSS and GALEX to study 23 nearby spheroidal galaxies with prominent dust lanes (DLSGs). DLSGs are considered to be remnants of recent minor ...
    • Principal component analysis on chemical abundances spaces 

      Ting, Y. S.; Freeman, Kenneth C.; Kobayashi, C.; De Silva, G. M.; Bland-Hawthorn, J. (2012-04)
      In preparation for the High Efficiency and Resolution Multi-Element Spectrograph (HERMES) chemical tagging survey of about a million Galactic FGK stars, we estimate the number of independent dimensions of the space defined ...
