• Galaxy Zoo DESI Published

    Updated: 2024-04-22 04:41:50
    I’m thrilled to announce the release of Galaxy Zoo DESI; detailed morphology classifications for all 8.7 million well-resolved galaxies in the DESI Legacy Surveys. This is the largest detailed catalogue ever made (by an order of magnitude).  Today is the end of a long road. GZ DESI is being released eight years to the day […]

One of our results was that star forming galaxies with stronger bars have significantly higher star formation in their centres compared to galaxies with weaker bars. This might be due to differences in the […]

  • Planning for the Future of Galaxy Zoo – Science Team Meeting at ISSI
