Galaxy zoo builder: Morphological dependence of spiral galaxy pitch angle

چکیده
ABSTRACT Spiral structure is ubiquitous in the Universe, and pitch angle of arms spiral galaxies provide an important observable efforts to discriminate between different mechanisms arm formation evolution. In this paper, we present a hierarchical Bayesian approach galaxy determination, using data obtained through Galaxy Builder citizen science project. We new deal with large variations single galaxy, which obtains full posterior distributions on parameters. make use our angles examine previously reported links bulge bar strength angle, finding no correlation (with caveat that observational proxies for both size differ from other work). test recent model winding, predicts uniformity cotangent some unknown upper lower limits, observations are consistent transient recurrent as long at most winding spirals dissipate or disappear larger than 10°.

Galaxy Zoo: quantifying morphological indicators of galaxy interaction
We use Galaxy Zoo 2 visual classifications to study the morphological signatures of interaction between similar-mass galaxy pairs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We find that many observable features correlate with projected pair separation – not only obvious indicators of merging, disturbance and tidal tails, but also more regular features, such as spiral arms and bars. These trends are robus...
متن کاملGalaxy Zoo: the dependence of the star formationâ•fistellar mass relation on spiral disc morphology
We measure the stellar mass–star formation rate (SFR) relation in star-forming disc galaxies at z ≤ 0.085, using Galaxy Zoo morphologies to examine different populations of spirals as classified by their kiloparsec-scale structure. We examine the number of spiral arms, their relative pitch angle, and the presence of a galactic bar in the disc, and show that both the slope and dispersion of theM...
متن کاملGalaxy Zoo Supernovae
This paper presents the first results from a new citizen science project: Galaxy Zoo Supernovae. This proof-of-concept project uses members of the public to identify supernova candidates from the latest generation of wide-field imaging transient surveys. We describe the Galaxy Zoo Supernovae operations and scoring model, and demonstrate the effectiveness of this novel method using imaging data ...
متن کاملGalaxy Zoo : Chiral correlation function of galaxy spins ⋆
Galaxy Zoo is the first study of nearby galaxies that contains reliable information about the spiral sense of rotation of galaxy arms for a sizeable number of galaxies. We measure the correlation function of spin chirality (the sense in which galaxies appear to be spinning) of face-on spiral galaxies in angular, real and projected spaces. Our results indicate a hint of positive correlation at s...
متن کاملMorphological Classification of the OSU Bright Spiral Galaxy Survey
To quantify the distribution of bar shapes in spiral galaxies, we have analysed 113 H -band and 89 B -band galaxy images from the Ohio State University Bright Spiral Galaxy Survey. Parameters measuring bar shape and position along the Hubble sequence were obtained in each waveband. Evidence was found for a bimodality in the distribution of bar shape, implying that barred and unbarred galaxies a...
