Galaxy Zoo: Observing Secular Evolution Through Bars

Galaxy Zoo: Observing Secular Evolution Through Bars

In this paper, we use the Galaxy Zoo 2 dataset to study the behavior of bars in disk galaxies as a function of specific star formation rate (SSFR), and bulge prominence. Our sample consists of 13,295 disk galaxies, with an overall (strong) bar fraction of $23.6\pm 0.4\%$, of which 1,154 barred galax...
