There’s been a lot of interest in the Galaxy Zoo 2 bars paper since I posted about its submission last month. So this is just a quick note to say we decided to make it available on astroph where you can read about the results in full.
We heard a few days ago that our paper on red spirals has been accepted by the journal. Not only is this another success for Galaxy Zoo science, but it’s a tribute to the hard work of Karen who led the effort. What with the first Zoo 2 paper being submitted and a few other [...]
I’m happy to announce that the first paper using Galaxy Zoo 2 data was submitted (to MNRAS) yesterday.
In this work we used an early look at the information you have provided us on the presence of bars in a sample of GZ2 galaxies too look at trends of the bar fraction (basically how likely a [...]
The first step in trying to understand the connection between black holes and galaxies is finding them. But black holes are, well, black. In fact, you might say their blackness is their most defining feature.
So, how do you find them? It turns out that when they’re feeding on infalling gas and dust, a massive black [...]
Now that our paper on AGN host galaxies (galaxies whose black holes are feeding) is out, I will write a few blog posts about what we found with your help. But before we start, a little background.
Why do black holes matter? We now believe that at the centers of most, if not all galaxies, there [...]
Dear all,
I am happy to tell you that after a lot of work and a long peer review process, the Galaxy Zoo paper on AGN host galaxies (galaxies whose supermassive black holes are feeding) has finally been accepted by the Astrophysical Journal.
I’ve blogged about it before when we submitted it last year. The paper itself [...]
My Galaxy Zoo paper on the dust content of spiral galaxies was accepted for publication in the Monthly Notice of the Royal Astronomical Society this morning, and will be available here on the ArXiV server after 1am GMT tomorrow (Wed 13th Jan 2010).
You can read about the work that went into this paper and our [...]
Just a quick post to let you all know that earlier this week I submitted (to MNRAS) a paper on the Galaxy Zoo Red Spirals.
We decided to make this paper available right away on the arXiV, so you can download it here
This paper has been in the works for quite some time (remember the BBC [...]
Thanks for everyone’s work – both papers should soon be appearing in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
Before Kevin starts sending me friendly emails that I haven’t blogged about this yet, I want to announce the submission of the latest Galaxy Zoo paper (submitted to Monthly Notices on August 17th):
I’m delighted that I finally got this work submitted. Now I feel like I can properly call myself part of the Galaxy Zoo [...]
