Galaxy Zoo: Disentangling the Environmental Dependence of Morphology and Colour by Skibba, R, Bamford, S, Nichol, R, Lintott, C, Andreescu, D, Edmondson, E, Murray, P, Raddick, M, Schawinski, K, Slosar, A, Szalay, A, Thomas, D, Vandenberg, J

“…We analyze the significant population of red spiral galaxies, and present evidence that they tend to be located in moderately dense environments and are often satellite galaxies in the outskirts of haloes. Finally, we combine our results to argue that central and satellite galaxies tend to follow different evolutionary paths.…”

Galaxy Zoo: The Environmental Dependence of Bars and Bulges in Disc Galaxies by Skibba, R, Masters, K, Nichol, R, Zehavi, I, Hoyle, B, Edmondson, E, Bamford, S, Cardamone, C, Keel, W, Lintott, C, Schawinski, K

“…Finally, by analyzing the projected clustering of barred and unbarred disc galaxies with halo occupation models, we argue that barred galaxies are in slightly higher-mass haloes than unbarred ones, and some of them (approximately 25%) are satellite galaxies in groups. We also discuss implications about the effects of minor mergers and interactions on bar formation.…”

nIFTy Cosmology: the clustering consistency of galaxy formation models by Pujol, A, Skibba, R, Gaztañaga, E, Benson, A, Blaizot, J, Bower, R, Carretero, J, Castander, F, Cattaneo, A, Cora, S, Croton, D, Cui, W, Cunnama, D, Lucia, G, Devriendt, J, Elahi, P, Font, A, Fontanot, F, Garcia-Bellido, J, Gargiulo, I, Gonzalez-Perez, V, Helly, J, Henriques, B, Hirschmann, M, Knebe, A, Lee, J, Mamon, G, Monaco, P, Onions, J, Padilla, N, Pearce, F, Power, C, Somerville, R, Srisawat, C, Thomas, P, Tollet, E, Vega-Martínez, C, Yi, S

“…We also show that galaxy formation models that do not include orphan satellite galaxies have a significantly lower 2PCF on small scales, consistent with previous studies. …”

Galaxy Zoo: The environmental dependence of bars and bulges in disc galaxies by Skibba, R, Masters, K, Nichol, R, Zehavi, I, Hoyle, B, Edmondson, E, Bamford, S, Cardamone, C, Keel, W, Lintott, C, Schawinski, K

“…Finally, by analysing the projected clustering of barred and unbarred disc galaxies with halo occupation models, we argue that barred galaxies are in slightly higher mass haloes than unbarred ones, and some of them (approximately 25per cent) are satellite galaxies in groups. We discuss the implications of our results on the effects of minor mergers and interactions on bar formation in disc galaxies. © 2012 The Authors Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society © 2012 RAS.…”
