    • The effect of environment on the ultraviolet color-magnitude relation of early-type galaxies 

      Schawinski, K.; Kaviraj, S.; Khochfar, S.; Yoon, S.-J.; Yi, S.K.; Lee, Y.-W.; Deharveng, J.-M.; Boselli, A.; Donas, J.; Milliard, B.; Barlow, T.; Conrow, T.; Forster, K.; Friedman, P.G.; Martin, D.C.; Morrissey, P.; Seibert, M.; Small, T.; Wyder, T.; Neff, S.; Schiminovich, D.; Blanchi, L.; Heckman, T.; Szalay, A.; Madore, B.; Rich, R.M. (2007-12-01)
      We use GALEX near-UV (NUV ) photometry of a sample of early-type galaxies selected in the SDSS (Sloan Digital Sky Survey) to study the UV color-magnitude relation (CMR). NUV - r color is an excellent tracer of even small ...

    • 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 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: 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 ...

    • Suppression of star formation in early-type galaxies by feedback from supermassive black holes 

      Schawinski, K.; Khochfar, S.; Kaviraj, S.; Yi, S.K.; Lee, Y.-W.; Boselli, A.; Donas, J.; Milliard, B.; Barlow, T.; Conrow, T.; Forster, K.; Friedman, P.G.; Martin, D.C.; Morrissey, P.; Seibert, M.; Small, T.; Wyder, T.K.; Neff, S.; Schiminovich, D.; Bianchi, L.; Heckman, T.; Szalay, A.; Madore, B.; Rich, R.M. (2006-08-24)
      Detailed high-resolution observations of the innermost regions of nearby galaxies have revealed the presence of supermassive black holes. These black holes may interact with their host galaxies by means of 'feedback' in ...

    • UV-optical colors as probes of early-type galaxy evolution 

      Kaviraj, S.; Schawinski, K.; Devriendt, J.E.G.; Ferreras, I.; Khochfar, S.; Yoon, S.-J.; Yi, S.K.; Lee, Y.-W.; Deharveng, J.-M.; Boselli, A.; Donas, J.; Milliard, B.; Barlow, T.; Conrow, T.; Forster, K.; Friedman, P.G.; Martin, D.C.; Morrissey, P.; Seibert, M.; Small, T.; Wyder, T.; Neff, S.; Schiminovich, D.; Bianchi, L.; Heckman, T.; Szalay, A.; Madore, B.; Rich, R.M. (2007-12-01)
      We have studied ∼2100 early-type galaxies in the SDSS DR3 which have been detected by the GALEX Medium Imaging Survey (MIS), in the redshift range O <z <0.1.1. Combining GALEXUV photometry with corollary optical data from ...
