Curious Pattern in Longo's 2011 Net Handedness Asymmetries (in SDSS Galaxies)

by JeanTate

Summary:

In a paper published in 2011, Michael Longo reported the possible discovery of a cosmic dipole in the distribution of the apparent handedness of nearby spiral galaxies. I compared the handedness classifications that paper uses with those published by the Galaxy Zoo, and found a couple of curious patterns. These patterns likely point to a much more local origin of the apparent dipole.

1. Introduction
  =============
Longo (2011) (L11) reported the results of an interesting experiment, with intriguing implications: by arranging for the 'handedness' of a well-defined selection of SDSS spiral galaxies to be assessed in a way that almost certainly guarantees freedom from 'mirror bias', they produced a list containing the estimated handedness of ~200,000 of z ‹ 0.085 SDSS spiral galaxies, in ternary, "L", "R", or "U". From this list they concluded that there is a global pattern to the distribution of spiral galaxy handedness, a dipole.

As a zooite, fairly new to the Galaxy Zoo, I was intrigued by this finding, and spent quite some time investigating it in some detail (see Tate 2011). I found that the L11 data contains some curious patterns of its own, when analyzed with reference to the first Galaxy Zoo Data Release (Lintott et al. 2011). This Discussion reports on two of those patterns.

The rest of this Discussion is structured as follows: In Section 2, I briefly describe the L11 experiment, analyses, and key findings; in Section 3, the Zooniverse project, Galaxy Zoo, and how I extracted the relevant data from DR1; Section 4 describes the curious patterns I found; Section 5 is a discussion of these curious patterns; and Section 6 is the usual Conclusion.

As this version of Talk does not permit display of the 'greater than' and 'less than' characters - it seems to treat them as part of an HTML tag, whether enclosed in 'code' or not - I have replaced them with › and ‹ respectively.

1. The L11 Study
  =============
The universe from which Longo (2011) (hereafter L11) selected galaxies for their study is SDSS Data Release 6 (the SDSS Collaboration 2008); specifically those with:
- spectroscopic redshifts, z ‹ 0.085
- colors bluer than 2.85 as measured in the SDSS u' and r' bands, i.e. (u'-r') ‹ 2.85
- g'-band magnitudes ‹ 17.0 (for z ‹ 0.04) or ‹ 17.4 (for 0.04 ‹ z ‹ 0.85)
- colors redder than 1.6 in the u' and z' bands, i.e. (u'-z') › 1.6
- colors bluer than 3.5 in the u' and z' bands, i.e. (u'-z') ‹ 3.5.
Each galaxy was eyeballed once only, by one of five scanners. Each scanner had only three choices, for each galaxy,"L" (Left ≡ ↻), "R" (Right ≡ ↺), and "U" (for uncertain). L11 uses the term "handedness" for the appearance of a spiral galaxy to be winding in one (circular) direction or the other. In this experiment, scanners were presented with either direct or mirrored images; the mirroring was done in such a way as to leave no hint of which image was direct and which mirrored. And mirroring was done at random.

A total of 15,158 galaxies were coded as either "R" or "L".

I obtained a copy of this list ("A file with the spin assignments, coordinates, and magnitudes is available as supplementary material" - L11), coded with the SDSS DR6 Photo ObjId as the galaxy identifier, from zookeeperChris (Tate 2011).

L11 characterizes handedness asymmetry as 〈A〉≡(R-L)/(R+L), and defines the variance (σ²) of the handedness asymmetry as σ = 1/√(R+L).

Figure 2 in L11 displays the net asymmetries in right ascension (RA) and redshift (z) bins, in the form of a polar plot. In Table 1 I present the data in that Figure, compressed to just the RA bins ("sectors"); each bin has an RA range of 30°. [1]

Table 1. Net asymmetries in L11, as a function of right ascension

Figure 1 is a plot of the data in Table 1. The red line is the net asymmetry of the full L11 sample, the 'global' asymmetry (-0.024), with 1σ error bars (0.008). Note that there are no galaxies in the 270-300° RA bin, and I have omitted the net asymmetry for the 60-90° RA bin as there are only four galaxies in this bin.

1. The Galaxy Zoo Data
  =============
In the Galaxy Zoo (GZ) project, ~100,000 citizen scientists ('zooites') classified the morphology of almost 900,000 SDSS DR6 objects. Each object was given just a single classification by each zooite who viewed it, and the classification choices were fixed (how the Galaxy Zoo project worked is described in Lintott et al. 2008). Two of the choices were "Clock", corresponding to L11's "R", and "Anti", corresponding to "L" in L11. In GZ, zooites' classifications are called "votes". Each of the objects was classified multiple times, independently, with a mean of ~38 classifications per galaxy.

The database of GZ classifications was published in 2011, as Galaxy Zoo 1 Data Release (DR1; Lintott et al. 2011), and can downloaded from this URL.

I downloaded DR1, and extracted the number of votes for "Clock" (coded in DR1 as "CW") and for "Anti" (coded in DR1 as "ACW") for each of the 15,158 galaxies in the L11 list, from Table 2 (14902 galaxies) and Table 3 (254 galaxies). [2]

The global net asymmetry using GZ DR1 data, per the L11 definition, is〈A〉 -0.031 ± 0.008.

Table 2 is a comparison of the two sets of classifications; "equal" are galaxies for which the number of zooite CW votes is equal to the number of ACW votes (excluding "zero"); "zero" galaxies are those for which the number of CW votes equals the number of ACW votes, and that number is zero. Note that a galaxy is classified as "CW" if the number of zooite votes for CW is greater than the number of votes for ACW (and vice versa, for "ACW"), even if the difference is just one vote.
```
  L11   CW    ACW  equal zero total
   R   7252   105    20   13   7390
   L     61  7670    21   14   7766
 total 7313  7775    41   27  15156
```
Table 2. Galaxy Zoo vs. L11 classifications (see text for details)

There are 234 galaxies where the two classifications differ, 'discordant classifications'; their distribution by RA is the same as that of the 14922 'concordant classification' galaxies (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, P=0.99), as is the distribution of the three biggest 'discordant' subsets: R/ACW (P=0.82), L/CW (P=0.79), and the combined "equal" and "zero" (P=0.45).

A more detailed examination of these 234 galaxies is beyond the scope of this Discussion, as is a study of 'false negatives' in L11 (i.e. spiral galaxies which the scanners rated "U" but which zooites voted "CW" or "ACW", by a wide margin). Appendix A contains a list of these 234 galaxies, including the distribution of zooite votes across all GZ choices.

It should be noted that Land et al. (2008) studied zooites' handedness classification bias; 'spin' in that work has the same meaning as 'handedness' in L11. However, as there are so few discordant classifications, comparing L11 with GZ DR1, exploration of how this bias may be removed - or at least accounted for - in the zooites' classifications will be left for a future Discussion.

[2] Two of the 15,158 do not appear in GZ DR1, ObjId 587727780279549993, and 587730845816521009. Zooite waveney confirmed that these are not among the objects in GZ. There was a GZ 'mirror' study; its results are in DR1 Table 5.

1. The Curious Patterns
  =============
The most obvious curious pattern is, assuming the L11 data is completely free of 'mirror bias', that there is no 'mirror bias' in the GZ classifications, despite the fact that all the images zooites classified were direct (i.e. zootes were not presented with any mirror images), but only ~half the images the L11 scanners classified were direct (the rest were mirrored).

The two estimates of global net handedness asymmetry - i.e. for the universe of the 15,156 galaxies - are the same, to within ‹ 1σ:

GZ 〈A〉 -0.031 ± 0.008

L11 〈A〉 -0.025 ± 0.008 [3]

As the two estimates of handedness, for each galaxy, are the same in the two classification studies (except for the 'discordant' subset, comprising 1.5% of the total), and as details of the zooites' votes are provided in GZ DR1, I have done some analyses on the galaxies' handednesses, by examining the distribution of zooite votes for each galaxy (but keeping the L11 handedness classification as the 'true' one).

I divided the 15,156 galaxies into three groups, which I call GOLD, SILVER, and DREGS.

The DREGS group contains galaxies for which the combined "CW" and "ACW" votes, for each galaxy, are less than 50% of the total votes for that galaxy; there are 1,734 such galaxies. The "equal" and "zero" subsets are both in DREGS [4], as are 73 of the R/ACW (70% of all such) and 42 of the L/CW ones (69%).

The split between GOLD and SILVER among the 13,422 non-DREGS is the dominance the zooites' "handedness" votes, for either CW or ACW: in the GOLD group〈A〉 › 0.95, or ‹ -0.95; i.e. zooites overwhelmingly voted each galaxy as either CW or as ACW (N=9245). The SILVER group contains the non-GOLD/non-DREGS galaxies (N = 4177). Just 14 (13%) of the R/ACW discordant classifications are in GOLD, and just 7 (11%) of the L/CW ones.

The distribution of net handedness asymmetry of each of these three groups, by RA, is shown in Figure 2. Note that the net 〈A〉values for each group, in each bin, are calculated using the L11 classifications, not the GZ ones. Note also that there are no galaxies in the 270-300° RA bin, and I have omitted the net asymmetry for the 60-90° RA bin as there are only four galaxies in this bin.

Figure 2. RA distribution of net handedness asymmetry for the GOLD (gold colored), SILVER (grey), and DREGS (blue) groups (error bars for DREGS omitted). The group means are displayed as lines colored the same as their group's (DREGS omitted). The red line is the L11 global net asymmetry (see above)

The most obvious pattern in Figure 2 is the difference in the global (group) net handedness asymmetry of the three groups, as shown in Table 3.
```
 group    N       〈A〉     reduced chi^2
 GOLD   9245 -0.098±0.010   1.22±0.47
 SILVER 4177 +0.110±0.016   2.62±0.47
 DREGS  1734 +0.040±0.024   0.80±0.47
```
Table 3. Net asymmetry 〈A〉of the three groups, together with the number of group members (N), and the reduced chi² statistic

A somewhat less obvious pattern is that the RA distributions of the GOLD and DREGS are each consistent with a constant, the respective group mean, while that of SILVER is not, as shown by the reduced chi² test (9 dof): the reduced chi² statistic is within 2σ of 1 for GOLD and DREGS, but not for SILVER.

As you would expect, the distribution of the discordant classifications, by GOLD/SILVER/DREGS group, is highly inconsistent with the distribution of galaxies over the three groups: the more difficult it was for zooites to make an unambiguous classification, the more likely it is that the GZ/L11 classifications will be discordant (chi² statistic 1023.5, 2 dof, p-value ‹‹0.001).

Net handedness asymmetry does not vary with RA bins for galaxies whose classifications are certain, where 'certainty' is derived from zooites' DR1 voting distributions. Nor does it vary for galaxies whose classifications are very uncertain. It does, however, vary for galaxies whose classifications are somewhat uncertain.

The degree of certainty, in classifying a galaxy's handedness, seems to be the key factor in net handedness asymmetry.

This pattern is most curious.

[3] Earlier, in Section 2, I gave this value as -0.024. Why the difference? The -0.024 value is derived from the binned data in L11's Fig. 2 (and for a total of 15,158 objects); the -0.025 comes from a direct calculation done using all 15,156 data points.

[4] While it is possible for the voting to be 25% CW and 25% ACW, and thus such an "equal" galaxy would not be in DREGS, there are no such galaxies among the 15,156. The highest combined vote, among the "equal" subset, is 46%.

1. Discussion
  =============
Table 3 in Land et al. (2008) is similar to this Discussion's Table 2. In commenting on the equivalent of this Discussion's Table 2 R/ACW and L/CW cells, Land et al. write:

We see very good agreement between our classifications, and the 10
cases where the handedness classifications contradict each other we
have double checked the SDSS images and find the disagreement can be
put down to misclassification in L07a - a demonstration of the
usefulness of multiple classifications per galaxy.

In this Discussion, I have shown that having the details of those "multiple classifications" enables an analysis which reveals two most curious patterns.

At one level, the apparent disappearance of a dipole in the distribution of net galaxy handedness asymmetries in the L11 data (due to an apparent, and previously unknown, classification bias) is interesting enough: the net handedness asymmetry seems to arise from something far more local than a universal preference for one handedness direction over another.

At another level, the curious pattern is quite disturbing: if randomly mirroring galaxy images, to eliminate 'mirror bias', does not make any detectable difference, no matter how difficult it is to classify the handedness of a galaxy, what is the nature of this 'mirror bias'?

Then there's the question of why the net handedness asymmetry is negative - L, or ACW, is more frequent than R/CW - for galaxies for which there is near unanimity in classification, but becomes positive - R/CW more frequent than L/ACW - when the galaxies are harder to classify. It is very easy to come up with a long list of possible causes: smaller (on the sky) galaxies are harder to classify and mirror bias is real (but subtle); neighboring (on the sky) galaxies confuse classifiers and this confusion causes a subtle mirror bias; dust lanes in spirals with sufficiently high inclinations make classification more difficult and this is where mirror bias most strongly manifests itself; the galaxies most easily classified are closer and closer galaxies truly do have a net L/ACW handedness; and so on.

The curious patterns described in this Discussion also have implications for automated ('machine') classification systems/software. For example, can such automated systems reproduce these patterns, in detail? Can they, for example, show no 'mirror bias' when the images to be classified are mirrored at random (when compared with a classification exercise with no mirroring)? Can they reliably produce a net L/ACW handedness asymmetry for galaxies which are easy to classify (for handedness), but a net R/CW one for galaxies which are harder to classify?

1. Conclusion
  =============
I report the discovery of some curious patterns in the distribution of net handedness asymmetries in the L11 classification data, when analyzed using Galaxy Zoo (GZ) classifications. The cleanest classifications have no statistically significant variation with right ascension; ditto the least clean. The dipole distribution reported in L11 seems to be an artifact of the classifications themselves. Further, there is no apparent 'mirror bias' in the GZ classifications; at the level of the galaxies themselves, the two sets of classifications are almost exactly the same, with discrepancies depending on ease of classification. As the handedness of spiral galaxies becomes more difficult to ascertain, the apparent net asymmetry in handedness changes from anti-clockwise/left to clockwise/right; this is a most curious pattern.

Acknowledgements

First and foremost, without the inspired and talented Zooniverse team, this Discussion would not exist; many thanks.

Thanks too to zookeeperChris for his GZ forum posts on L11, which led to him sending me a copy of the L11 file.

Then to zooite gumbosea, who has helped me a great deal over the past few years with matters technical; in particular it was gumbosea who worked out, and taught me, a simple means of creating tables and copying them into Letters so they display as intended.

The data in this paper is the result of the clicks of zooites, without whom none of this work would have been possible.

Appendix A

This Appendix contains six pairs of Tables, with details of the 234 'discordantly classified' galaxies.

The first Table in each pair gives the SDSS DR7 ObjectID in the first column, headed "GALAXYNAME" (this is how this field is labelled in the L11 file); followed by the right ascension (RA) and declination (Dec), taken from L11; and lastly the redshift, z (also from L11).

The second Table in each pair also has GALAXYNAME as its first column. The second column - headed "L11" - is the handedness classification from the L11 file, either R or L. The remaining columns are from GZ DR1. The CW, ACW, EDGE, EL, MG, and DK columns are the same as those in Tables 2 and 3 (the DR1 data column names include "P_" as a prefix; I stipped this prefix off), and are the fraction of votes for Elliptical (EL), ClockWise spirals (CW), AntiClockWise spirals (ACW), Edge-on spirals (EDGE), Don’t Know (DK), and Merger (MG). Nv is the DR1 column NVOTE, the total number of votes for each object. The last column - T - is the DR1 Table from which the GZ data was taken. Note that the Table 3 label text, both in Lintott et al. 2011 and on the download webpage, is in error; while many objects in Table 3 do not have SDSS DR7 spectra, many others do (refer to the text of Lintott et al. 2011 for details).

Explanatory Note

This material was originally published in Zooniverse Letters, on 28 April, 2013; the title is the same ("Curious Pattern in Longo's 2011 Net Handedness Asymmetries (in SDSS Galaxies)"). The Zooniverse Letter contains a transcription error - in Table 1 and Figure 1 - which has been corrected in this version. Minor formatting changes have been made, to accommodate the quirks of this version of Talk; otherwise the content is the same.

Comments welcome!

As described in some detail in this thread, I've been teaching myself how to write/format a document in a form suitable for submitting to MNRAS*. Here's where I'm up to.

Comments and suggestions welcome! 😃

*not that I'd submit this document, of course, but at least I now know enough that - should I ever write a draft paper good enough - I could turn it into something which would come close to being acceptable (style/format-wise)

Jean:

Are you using an MNRAS class file for any reason other than intent to submit a paper to MNRAS? If, as indicated in the footnote, the intended audience for this particular document is someone other than an MNRAS editor you might want to format it differently. Personally I prefer a single column layout, especially for papers that I read on screen.

@mlpeck: it's primarily a test of my ability to create a document in a format that is (or is close to) acceptable to MNRAS. I had, earlier, managed to create a PDF, from a .tex, in a 'generic' LaTeX* format (see the first link in my post); now I (almost) know how create one that is good enough (format-wise) to submit to MNRAS, or post to arXiv. Of all the Zooniverse Letters I have 'published', I chose this one because I have also already published it elsewhere; for some background, see the Status and future of Letters, and other Zooniverse support for zooites' independent research? thread (esp p2).

I will be looking into how different/difficult it is to prepare a document for submission to some other, relevant journals, and will likely do a test involving another of my Zooniverse Letters that I have also published elsewhere. Then I intend to write a 'real' paper, for submission to at least arXiv; this may be based on one of my Letters (or some combo of several), or it may be something new (e.g. starting with Quench and going beyond, or something from RGZ).

Personally I prefer a single column layout, especially for papers that I read on screen.

May I ask, do you have a documentclass I could use, one that you know (works) well and which produces a layout that's both easy to read on screen and one which would likely require only minor modification to make it good enough - format-wise - for submission to arXiv?

*or is it Tex? I get confused; what's the format (like PDF), and what's (whatever the other is)?

A generic "article" document class with a few additions and modifications would probably be good enough, even for arxiv if not for a journal submission. I'd post an example but something tells me Talk wouldn't like LaTeX markup embedded in a post, so I've sent an email to the address you were using earlier this year.

Thanks. I have received your email, and have replied.
