Dustlane

by bluemagi
How can both of these galaxies be sharing a dustlane? Sorry I put this in the wrong category under help. So can anyone explain this?

If a galaxy with a dustlane is interacting/merging with another galaxy, I don't see why the dustlane cannot get smeared out and appear in the other galaxy.
Hope this helps !

Do you mean emergence? Its not right to criticize New ideas. Since science is all about new hypothesis and theory. You might not like it but that is what science is all about! History shows a trend of outcasting people who don't conform to the norm. I guess that you get paid by the merger. Goodbye, Bluemagi

@MODERATOR Please remove your off-topic remarks. The discussion is for classifiers who are tired of your one dimensional interpretation of astronomy. These remarks appear as hostile, crude spamming.
"If a galaxy with a dustlane is interacting/merging with another galaxy, I don't see why the dustlane cannot get smeared out and appear in the other galaxy."
"Thanks for all the gorgeous images of mostly merging galaxies and dustlanes !"Please flaunt your hypothesis in another discussion.
==========================================
These object pairs have a foundation based upon natural INTERNAL events of ALL paired-object systems and these examples show that LTG type objects move from inside a dust ring to beyond the ring and take dust from the ring with that emergent LTGs - LTG cannot for their own dust.
Attack these authors. Some are Zoo staff. Good luck with that.
@Lintott, please advise your moderators that you have specific guidelines to follow when using the term
"merger." Also, will you be simulating emergent systems from this collection?From the recent MaNGA studies another note, “Recent studies argue that local galaxies must migrate rapidly (within a Gyr) from the ‘blue cloud’ to the ‘red sequence’ due to the scarcity of galaxies within the intervening parameter space (occasionally dubbed the ‘green valley’; (e.g. Schawinski et al. 2007.) Therefore, valuable insights into galaxy evolution can be obtained by studying galaxies that appear to have intermediate properties and may be in the act of transitioning between the two main galaxy populations (Wong 2011.)”
“This reconstruction demonstrates that elliptical galaxies cannot have formed through the merging of other galaxies, simply because there wasn't enough time to accumulate the large quantity of stars seen in these galaxies through these processes … This means that the formation of elliptical galaxies occurs through internal, in situ processes of star formation (Mancuso 2016.)”

Hi @CSA00,
Interesting quotes from papers, though note the quote from Mancuso et al. (2016) is not actually from the paper but is from some kind of press related to the article. The paper itself never mentions either elliptical or spiral galaxies directly. It refers to the formation of new stars in galaxies, not to whether galaxy mergers occur at all (which they obviously do and I agree with @ElisabethB's recommendation above). In that context it seems at first glance like it may be consistent with the Wong et al. and Schawinski et al. papers, which argue that star formation must occur in situ in at least some ellipticals.
Those are some really lovely examples of dust lanes, disturbed and not. Have you considered adding them to a collection here when you come across them in classification? It might make it easier for you to organize and keep notes on your identifications of interesting galaxies.
Cheers,

That is from Simmons et al. (2016), the Galaxy Zoo CANDELS data release paper that was recently accepted by MNRAS. Distraction bias is unrelated to discussion of the physics of mergers.
I have never seen a reference to an "emergent fission type" in a journal article or talk, but the name sounds like it is meant to evoke the concept of nuclear fission. Nuclear fission is of course a well-studied phenomenon, but the force that dominates galaxy interactions, gravity, is completely different. A single galaxy does not spontaneously split into two galaxies; that's just not how gravity works. Simulations using gravity alone (e.g. Springel et al. 2005) are remarkably effective at reproducing the overall properties (masses, distribution on the sky) of galaxies that we see today, and the addition of more physical forces and more complex processes (e.g. Vogelsberger et al. 2014a, b) makes this more accurate. Explaining the images posted above of disturbed galaxies and galaxy pairs does not require a complete inversion of gravity of the sort you seem to be suggesting. Simulations reproduce mergers of exactly that sort extremely well. The collection @zutopian started has some really nice examples as well.

Tidal dwarf galaxies are generally acknowledged to be real things and no version of the Galaxy Zoo decision tree would be of much help in identifying candidates. You'd basically have to wade through the high vote fraction "odds".

Always classify the object in the center of the image. Even if it is the most boring one!The "boring" objects are what we classify. The staff etal claim that bored classifiers
cause "bias" so perhaps the moderators need to be a little more upbeat about their tasks.Btw, you weren't a "moderator" 4 years ago.

Yes, so please use the simulator to show that all these objects are not "mergers."
Also Lintott has a set of 3,850 merger rejects from a multi-object paper. May we
have those systems for our analysis. Please format them as these 30 are formatted.Please also confirm that these 30 systems are not "mergers" too. Thank you.

I agree that the GZ decision tree can't readily identify all known types of galaxies. Rarer types are not all captured even in the "odd" choices, and it's always been a challenge to select a clean and complete sample of S0s, for example.
One of the benefits of the new Zooniverse project builder is that it's easy to create new projects and new workflows that are targeted to a specific science case or set of science cases. With Galaxy Zoo Bar Lengths, for example, we used the original GZH and GZ CANDELS classifications to pick a set of galaxies that needed more information on galaxy bars than the original question trees could provide. If you wanted to look for tidal dwarf galaxies with the help of the Zoo community, and you know what data you want to start from, you can now create a project to do it!
But I also agree with @ElisabethB above that your example is very different from the other example above, in that there is a set of scientific literature to provide observational and theoretical backing and context to the study of tidal dwarf galaxies.

One point I was hinting at was that since tidal dwarfs are more or less by definition stellar systems that form out of tidal debris from interacting galaxies calling them mergers isn't quite the right term. No one knows the ultimate fate of tidal dwarfs -- they might dissipate into the intergalactic medium, they might merge back into their parent systems, or they might survive as distinct systems. That's one of the things that makes them of great astrophysical interest as all papers say in the intro.
So, if you developed a research interest in tidal dwarfs and wanted to use Galaxy Zoo data what would you do? I think a new targeted project would probably be needed. I'd probably pick as candidates just about everything with a significant merger vote fraction in GZ1 or with a significant fraction of "odd" votes in GZ2 or the current round of decals classifications. I'd also probably pick neighbors out to some fairly large angular radius regardless of any previous classifications.
I'll leave off with a famous example -- this is Arp 105 (among other catalog designations). The irregular blob attached to the long tidal tail is considered a tidal dwarf, as is the blue condensation south of the elliptical (NGC 3561) near the bottom. Only about 23% of GZ1 classifiers saw the irregular as a merger. In GZ2 65% of classifiers saw something "odd" about the elliptical with votes split between "merger " and "other."

No, Its in the right thread. It depends on how one looks at things, isn't it. Emergence is a new way of looking at things. You should know that science needs new ideas to advance. We can't keep being stuck in the past we need to advance and with all the new technology you would think that science has to start looking at new hypothesis and theory. Halton Arp was an amazing scientist who was shunned by the astronomy community because of his ideas. Instead of debate and really looking at ideas, they get kicked to the curb because it doesn't fit the norm. I have a deep love of science and what I see really shocks me at times. We are all on the same page we all want the truth and we shall only find it when we really start listening to one another and stop being critical of one another and listen to new ideas. If you want to discuss this more email me. Magi

AFAIK GalaxyZoo is meant for citizen science (or whatever it is called now) eg. classifications of galaxies and if necessary feedback on individual galaxies or features. Why not keep it that way and discuss mainstream theories, controversial theories and personal pet theories at more appropriate places?
I can heartily recommend the CosmoQuest forum for these among others.

Ok thanks for clearing that up, I am personally not offended just mildly amused since elsewhere I am considered against the mainstream 😃, but maybe it concerns another comment. I am wondering though, is this truly the same bluemagi i've had pleasant contact with just under 10 months ago, what happenend?
Ok so anyways, since this is about dustlanes and apparently some fission (?) theory which isn't explained here can anyone;
-
explain this theory in detail and how it's different from mainstream theory?
-
show why it is so certain this fission theory explains object AGZ000brw0 better than 'simply' a merger of two galaxies, and what this has to do with the dustlane(s), please provide clear details and references.
Maybe there exists a thread where this is done already, then please provide a link.
Many thanks in advance, clear skies

This is an difficult paper that requires a detailed knowledge of astrophysics, which I don't have. Also, it has not yet been accepted for publication, so it has not been subjected to peer review (translation: the other experts haven't agreed that it has merit)
I can't see how this fits into a thread about dustlanes. You may wish to create a thread about galaxy fission. But please, support your theories with facts. If your theory has no basis in science, it will confuse newbies and waste time.
Emergent Gravity and the Dark Universe
Erik P. Verlinde (Submitted on 7 Nov 2016 (v1), last revised 8 Nov
2016 (this version, v2)) Recent theoretical progress indicates that
spacetime and gravity emerge together from the entanglement structure
of an underlying microscopic theory. These ideas are best understood
in Anti-de Sitter space, where they rely on the area law for
entanglement entropy. The extension to de Sitter space requires taking
into account the entropy and temperature associated with the
cosmological horizon. Using insights from string theory, black hole
physics and quantum information theory we argue that the positive dark
energy leads to a thermal volume law contribution to the entropy that
overtakes the area law precisely at the cosmological horizon. Due to
the competition between area and volume law entanglement the
microscopic de Sitter states do not thermalise at sub-Hubble scales:
they exhibit memory effects in the form of an entropy displacement
caused by matter. The emergent laws of gravity contain an additional
dark' gravitational force describing the
elastic' response due to
the entropy displacement. We derive an estimate of the strength of
this extra force in terms of the baryonic mass, Newton's constant and
the Hubble acceleration scale a_0 =cH_0, and provide evidence for the
fact that this additional `dark gravity~force' explains the observed
phenomena in galaxies and clusters currently attributed to dark
matter. Comments: 5 figures Subjects: High Energy Physics - Theory
