    • 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, ...

    • Probing quasar shutdown timescales with Hanny's Voorwerp 

      Evans, D.A.; Schawinski, K.; Virani, S.; Urry, C.M.; Keel, W.C.; Natarajan, P.; Lintott, C.J.; Manning, A.; Coppi, P.; Kaviraj, S.; Bamford, S.P.; Józsa, G.I.G.; Garrett, M.; Van Arkel, H.; Gay, P.; Fortson, L. (American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2012)
      Galaxy formation is significantly modulated by energy output from supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies which grow in highly efficient luminous quasar phases. The timescale on which black holes transition ...
