Galaxy Zoo : Building the low-mass end of the red sequence with local post-starburst galaxies
(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 ...
Tidal dwarf galaxies in the nearby Universe
(2012-01-01)
We present a statistical observational study of the tidal dwarf (TD) population in the nearby Universe by exploiting a large, homogeneous catalogue of galaxy mergers compiled from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. 95percent ...
Probing quasar shutdown timescales with Hanny's Voorwerp
(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 ...
Herschel -ATLAS/GAMA : Dusty early-type galaxies and passive spirals
(2012)
We present the dust properties and star-formation histories of local submillimetre-selected galaxies, classified by optical morphology. Most of the galaxies are late types and very few are early types. The early-type ...
