Journal ArticleDOI
Rotation-invariant convolutional neural networks for galaxy morphology prediction
TL;DR: A deep neural network model for galaxy morphology classification which exploits translational and rotational symmetry is developed in the context of the Galaxy Challenge, an international competition to build the best model for morphology classification based on annotated images from the Galaxy Zoo project.
Journal ArticleDOI
The green valley is a red herring: Galaxy Zoo reveals two evolutionary pathways towards quenching of star formation in early-and late-type galaxies
Kevin Schawinski,C. Megan Urry,Brooke Simmons,Lucy Fortson,Sugata Kaviraj,William C. Keel,Chris Lintott,Chris Lintott,Karen L. Masters,Robert C. Nichol,Marc Sarzi,Ramin A. Skibba,Ezequiel Treister,Kyle W. Willett,O. Ivy Wong,Sukyoung K. Yi +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use SDSS+GALEX+Galaxy Zoo data to study the quenching of star formation in low-redshift galaxies and conclude that the green valley between the blue cloud of star-forming galaxies and the red sequence of quiescent galaxies in the colour-mass diagram is not a single transitional state through which most blue galaxies evolve into red galaxies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Galaxy Zoo 2: detailed morphological classifications for 304,122 galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Kyle W. Willett,Chris Lintott,Steven P. Bamford,Karen L. Masters,Brooke Simmons,Kevin Casteels,E. M. Edmondson,Lucy Fortson,Sugata Kaviraj,William C. Keel,Thomas Melvin,Robert C. Nichol,M. Jordan Raddick,Kevin Schawinski,Robert J. Simpson,Ramin A. Skibba,Arfon M. Smith,Daniel Thomas +17 more
TL;DR: Galaxy Zoo 2 (GZ2) as discussed by the authors is a citizen science project with more than 16 million morphological classifications of 304 122 galaxies drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Galaxy Zoo:observing secular evolution through bars
Edmond Cheung,E. Athanassoula,Karen L. Masters,Robert C. Nichol,Albert Bosma,Eric F. Bell,Sandra M. Faber,David C. Koo,Chris Lintott,Chris Lintott,Thomas Melvin,Kevin Schawinski,Ramin A. Skibba,Kyle W. Willett +13 more
TL;DR: The Galaxy Zoo 2 data set was used to study the behavior of bars in disk galaxies as a function of specific star formation rate (SSFR) and bulge prominence as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the first twelve months of operation of Radio Galaxy Zoo are presented, which upon completion will enable visual inspection of over 170,000 radio sources to determine the host galaxy of the radio emission and the radio morphology.
