The cosmic evolution of low-luminosity radio sources from the SDSS DR1 by Clewley, L, Jarvis, M

“…In this paper we constrain the evolution in the comoving space density for low-luminosity (typically FRI) radio sources as a function of cosmic epoch by matching deep radio surveys (WENSS, FIRST and NVSS) with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). This results in 1014 matched radio sources covering an effective area of 0.217 sr, 686 with L(325 MHz) < 10^25 W/Hz/sr, which is an order of magnitude larger than any previous study at these luminosities. …”

Morphological classification of galaxies and its relation to physical properties by Wijesinghe, D, Hopkins, A, Kelly, B, Welikala, N, Connolly, A

“…Here we present an analysis of a volume limited sample of 31703 galaxies from the fourth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We use an image analysis method called Pixel-z to extract the underlying physical properties of the galaxies, which is then quantified using the concentration, asymmetry and clumpiness (CAS) parameters. …”

Galaxy zoo builder: Four-component photometric decomposition of spiral galaxies guided by citizen science by Lingard, TK, Masters, KL, Krawczyk, C, Lintott, C, Kruk, S, Simmons, B, Simpson, R, Bamford, S, Nichol, RC, Baeten, E

“…We attempt to resolve this dilemma of "quantity or quality" by developing a novel framework, built inside the Zooniverse citizen-science platform, to enable the crowdsourcing of model creation for Sloan Digital Sky Survey galaxies. We have applied the method, including a final algorithmic optimization step, on a test sample of 198 galaxies, and examine the robustness of this new method. …”

MoLUSC: A MOck Local Universe Survey Constructor by Sousbie, T, Courtois, H, Bryan, G, Devriendt, J
