Obviously unreal ... no elliptical is this squashed, or are any bulges either (the way the diffspike doesn't affect the sim is unreal too)
GAMA-KiDS image. Classification tree is different from that of SDSS (DK which version is currently being used). Why?
It'd be nice to be able to vary the contrast, then the two-arm nature of this galaxy would be more obvious
#ferengified #overlap, with two MW stars. Will this mess up Mel's work?
#overlap
weird
#lens, of the traditional (not gravitational), kind
scaling failure; the galaxy in the center should, if the scaling works correctly, occupy much more the field than this
When is a "bulge" actually an AGN (visible as a point/PSF)?
ferengified overlap?
ferengified highly inclined spiral, possibly an Eos (edge-on spiral). Interesting that the bulge and disk colors are ~the same
good example of what is surely a highly inclined spiral appearing smooth; although you can't see the arms, it's still a spiral!
. interesting, possible PRG (polar ring galaxy)?
. possible #S0, with AGN?
. possible edge-on #S0
. textbook #S0 ! 😃
. I think this is a barred lenticular, aka #SB0
#S0
nice #S0 ! 😃
very nice merger!
This is really cool!
. the red is a dust lane, a very spectacular one too! 😃
#wrongsize
. no; such optical jets are very rare, and much thinner. More likely this is a #polarring galaxy! Good find
It may be a 'dark halo' ...
#wrongsize?
Done: http://radiotalk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BRG0000002/discussions/DRG0000dhj
. Nice! Detailed FIRST contours overlaid on SDSS image (maybe DECaLS too) on order (see RGZ Talk thread DRG00006wd for details).
. if so, it's the sort of thing Kyle is extremely interested in! 😃
also Illustris nothing
Illustris nothing
sorry; ETG means "early-type galaxy", an elliptical or lenticular in the Hubble scheme. ETGs are characterized by a lack of star-formation
an 'empty' Illustris sim? There seems to be no galaxy here ...
another Illustris barred ETG ... they seem quite common, no?
#ringed lens (per Buta) rather than bar
unusual merger?
another Illustris sim without a nucleus!
'abnormally' large nucleus? or ETG with prominent bulge, a lenticular perhaps?
. I always check the inverted image, but can't see how to do that; myself I can't answer (it looks smooth, but maybe features in inverted?)
. definitely one of the most photogenic Illustris sims posted to date!
. very likely a foreground star, in our own galaxy. This is an Illustris sim, in which the background is taken, at random, from SDSS ...
. this is from Illustris, a sim. The blue spots represent star-forming regions, perhaps star clusters
. the most spectacular Illustris sim I've seen so far! 😃
. and in Illustris! 😃
. anyone else see a ring, or an 'almost ring'? Hints of two CCW arms coming frim the ends of the bar?
another 'barred ETG' sim, almost an Eos embedded in an E~4 ...
another barred ETG, but disturbed; late merger?
beautiful ... why is it white? Sc (?) spirals like this are normally blue, aren't they?
looks like a merger, but the main galaxy appears quite undisturbed
SFR in/near the nucleus of an E0! wow!
@Capella05 - I can only comment on an object/image I classify after I've classified it; such comments cannot possibly influence my clicks ..
no nucleus! another unreal sim?
star overlapping almost the nucleus? or another galaxy, merging/overlapping? per SDSS, yep
. This is an Illustris sim; 'blue' parts of the central galaxy represent star-forming regions (there are no dust clouds in Illustris)
. as it's an Illustris sim, we know it can't be a SN; rather it's a foreground star or background galaxy from SDSS
Illustris: one-sided blue stuff is quite unlike any SDSS object?
Illustris: blue core/nucleus is unusual, for a sim ETG, right?
. I think it's an Illustris feature, real mergers (I think this is a 3-way) have lots of dust lanes + more intense star formation regions
looks like an overlap to me, or some sort of merger
Eos (edge-on spiral), rounded/boxy/no bulge? There's a nucleus, but is it a bulge?
4-arm #spiral !
eyes playing tricks? Is the nucleus (central bright bit) elongated? major axis different from overall one? If so, rarely seen in SDSS
messy major merger?
An obvious ~E0 ... with an obvious bar, but no dust lane! Unlike anything you'll see in SDSS?
star? or compact galaxy?
#polarring candidate
"secular evolution" I think; it's an example of outer Linblad resonance see Buta: http://ned.ipac.caltech.edu/level5/Sept11/Buta/Buta6.html

It's a disturbed spiral, possibly with a #bar. It may be a #merger, or an #irregular
I think it's an Sa (Hubble sequence), partly because of the obvious #dustlane
Zoom out, you'll see lots of faint blobs. These are stars, rather than faint distant galaxies. That's odd - because the galactic lat is -41!
It looks like a #dwarf spheroid, but embedded in a larger, face-on disk. The various blobs are likely background, except perhaps the yellow
Possibly - the central object looks disturbed - but you can't tell for sure without knowing the redshifts of each (could be an #overlap)
#star, so #artifact. The 4 big spikes are diffraction spikes, and the circles Airy rings
More likely a #barred spiral, towards the end of the Hubble sequence, so an Sd or perhaps Sm
Souped-up version of the LMC (Large Magellanic Cloud, a Local Group irregular galaxy)
Indeed. The irregular red stuff is interesting: #tidaldebris? #lensed background objects?

#Wow! I think the X-shape is #diffractionspikes, due to the fact that the nucleus is so bright, and point-like (i.e. it's an #AGN)
#merger? #collisionalring? #ring

Yes, each blob is like the 30 Doradus nebula (a.k.a. Tarantula Nebula) in the Large Magellanic Cloud.
#overlap. I can't see any sign of disturbance (though merging ellipticals don't always show that).
I think it's the yellow-orange fuzzball
an image processing artifact
Local #dwarf?
Is the green blob a foreground star? Or part of a spiral arm? or an artifact?
#Eos, #redspiral
stubby arm, top left; unusual in an #ETG
#diffractionspike
#bulgeless, type Sm?
giant, faint arm: from left (9 o'clock) end up, and over to the right; opposite the more obvious arm (which is short and stubby)
It's a double star, at the edge; 'normal' colors: http://skyserver.sdss3.org/dr8/en/tools/chart/navi.asp?ra=51.38202027&dec=77.39905408
You don't. Had the image been processed as other SDSS ones (and the raw data OK), it might look like an ETG, or a star, or artifact, or ...
Whoops! If it's too bright, it cannot possibly be a supernova (not in that galaxy). "Too bright"? Much brighter than the galaxy itself.
Looks more like a #blueelliptical to me
#bentarms
#Wow
and #overlap
#satellitetrail
A bright star (bright being relative, bright for Hubble, far far far too faint to see with your own eyes) #diffractionspike
That's a bright #star, with #diffractionspikes
#poorqualityimage - the image processing grossly exaggerated the very tiny color tints
Awesome eh? Only a short period (can 100's of millions of years be called 'short'?) between star-forming ending and dust disappearing
how to differentiate a supernova from foreground star? If it's not too bright, by looking at the image alone, you can't.
#poorqualityimage; bright stars have strong color gradients (they shouldn't)
The bright one is a foreground star; the other? hard to say, could be an #overlap, or a star
#wow
#barred (because of the peanut-shaped/X bulge) #Eos, #dustlane Nice find! 😄
possibly an #overlap
Can't see an AGN myself, just a nice bulge ...
This is actually fairly typical of the CANDELS Hubble images. Perhaps it's a #FHB (faint Hubble blob 😉 )
Yes, very likely. But it's hard to say, because it's a #poorqualityimage
#artifact
#Eos, #dustlane
#poorqualityimage - again, wildly exaggerated colors and/or mis-registered components
#merger? #overlap? Features in the faint outer parts (of the object to classify)?
yet another #poorqualityimage - colors are either wildly exaggerated, or components mis-registered (or both)
Yes. When we see an Eos (edge-on spiral) "dustlane", it's real; but the same thing in a star isn't! Or perhaps many Eos' dustlanes aren't?!?
#question why do the stars look like they have dustlanes through them?
No. To be quite sure it's a merger, and not an #overlap, involves a lot more than just a single SDSS image (e.g. spectroscopy)
Almost a #polarring?
#beautiful
#purple, is it an #AGN? #voorwerpje?
Nice #dustlane, but the nucleus/bulge appears as a perfect circle! Image processing artifact? or a PSF-like bulge?!? #question
#NLAGN (narrow line #AGN)? #voorwerpje looks like a distant M82!
#poorqualityimage why are we being presented with so many images with mis-registered components?
#Eos (edge-on spiral); #redspiral
Elongated bulge (if bulge it be), with cyan blob at one tip (and something else at the other). #weird #spiral?
#poorqualityimage ... so who can say what it is of?
#poorqualityimage, so who can say what it is of?
It's a CANDELS image, likely of a very distant galaxy (or part of one)
#weird, pretty; but weird
They're two #elliptical s, or at least #ETG (early-type galaxies). Does the orange blob between them signify a #merger?
With #ellipticals, it's not always so easy to tell if it's merger or an #overlap. The latter here, I think
Featured in the forum's Object of the Day today, "Spirals, Forever Spirals" http://www.galaxyzooforum.org/index.php?topic=280446.0
#Huh?!?!? If it's the #ETG we're to classify, why not zoom in on to it? Or is there #fauxzodiacallight (right)? THAT'S what's on the menu?
#AGN
#satellitetrail s
This is a good example of 'hard to work out which object to classify'; I think it's the Eos, but who knows? Also, good #overlap
#poorqualityimage - the components are mis-registered, or mis-aligned
Is is my imagination, or is the disk #warped? Especially the bottom part
Is the outer set of rings inclined, with respect to the rest of the disk? A #warped disk perhaps?
Yes, it's a very nice #overlap (or two)
It's a #merger, and the nucleus of the bottom (pink) galaxy contains an #AGN; the blue one may also have an AGN Pity there's no spectrum
You won't 'see' any black holes in SDSS or Hubble images! Except as bright, star-like galactic nuclei (i.e. their accretion disks)
Yes, they are likely (very) distant giant elliptical galaxies, called LRGs (luminous red galaxies). But it's hard to be certain
Yes, it's an #irregular galaxy They tend to be small, and nearly always blue, often with many star forming regions
This is very cool! Looks like an ETG, until you see the faint outer disk, and #faintarms! Easier to see in the smaller image
colorful, but #poorqualityimage
#asteroid nearby
They're processing #artifacts, no doubt due to the extremely bright star not too far away
very nice #overlap, involving an #Eos
#poorqualityimage? The colors are quite wrong ...
Two #satellitegalaxies (like the MW)? Also, a strange, somewhat irregular outer halo
#overlap? or #merger?
#beautiful #ring
#asymmetrical, with a bluish fringe (top right). Looks a bit like it's moving through something, leaving a wake
Is there a #dustlane snaking through this yellow, #ETG -looking object? Or is that an artifact? #question
the inner part seems have an axis inclined ~60o to the outer part; #illusion? or a #dustless #barred #spiral viewed almost #edgeon?
#poorqualityimage (components mis-registered), #disturbed #ETG (early-type galaxy)
#poorqualityimage - the colors, while pretty, clearly show mis-registration of the components
#available_in_DR7
#poorqualityimage - serious mis-registration of components
#asymmetrical, the nucleus is quite off-center, and the arm on the bottom-right quite different from the others
Classify the object in the center, one of the white blobs (can't tell which). In this #poorqualityimage, it's hard to say, #star?
The white object (above) is a star in our own galaxy; the yellow one is an #elliptical, far in the background
UFO! 😄
The stars seem to be almost resolved; if so, then this galaxy if very close to us, possibly in the Local Group
nice #barred spiral, possibly with a #ring
#overlap, possibly a multiple overlap
More likely to be an #overlap, with the blue #irregular or #dwarf in the foreground, and a giant elliptical in the background
Yep, #merger it is
There's lots of faint blue blobs, so #fhb (faint hubble blob)
#wow! It's certainly strange. Perhaps a kind of #polarringgalaxy?
#edgeon
nice #edgeon
They're local (in our own galaxy) foreground stars; they're not causing the tail
I can't see any ring or arc; it looks like an ordinary #elliptical galaxy to me
nice #overlap, and nice #edgeon
#richcluster with quite a few #overlaps and maybe a #merger or two
It's a foreground star, in our own galaxy
#blessEos #polarring?
#blueelliptical #dwarf
Could be an overlap (hard to say). #Huds (huge distant spiral)
The spirals look #disturbed, which is a good sign there's a #merger
The 'prismatic colors' are an artifact, due (likely) to mis-registration of the component RGB images
#happyface! No black hole though; no Hubble/SDSS image will show a black hole (other than as the bright accretion disk which surrounds one)
#fhb a faint object, from Hubble
Or, more likely, an #overlap
Or perhaps it's a #blessEos (bulge-less edge-on spiral)
#odd It may be an #overlap (background is an ordinary elliptical; foreground an #irregular)
It could be ... but who can tell? It's clearly an #artifact of some kind, due to this being a #poorqualityimage
Yep, #poorqualityimage
#LSB? #nebulosity?
#blueelliptical (though it's a #dwarf) and #overlap
#poorqualityimage - RGB components are mis-registered. Also, #blueelliptical
No, just two stars. Stars are so incredibly far apart that they almost never collide
Yes, due to it being a #poorqualityimage
#heartofrichcluster
I think the object you're asked to classify is the #yellowsmudge @~11 o'clock!
#diffractionspikes? Because the nucleus is an #AGN (so star-like)? #odd
#ring
#bulgeless
Obvious bar, yet outer shape is close to circular. #lenticular?
#WOW! #overlap (top left) #blueelliptical The two bright cyans? Maybe stars, maybe artifacts. #question!
#beautiful #spiral with #strangearms
#satellitetrails
Always classify the object in the center of the image, in this case, the nice spiral with blue arms and a small bulge
#barred and #ring
I call it #fauxzodiacallight. There's a very bright star, stage left; so it's a kind of #artifact
#satellitetrail I'd've thought these would be relatively easy to detect, automatically, and so we'd not get them. Why not? #question
perhaps a #planetarynebula?
They're not individual stars, but star clusters, each with thousands of stars! #starformingregions, in other words
Also #edgeon and #dustlane
#overlap same pair has already been noted by many zooites
An #irregular galaxy, on its way to being a spiral. Looks like it's #barred
Nice #merger
#WOW #beautiful #merger Many #starformingregions blue, purple and cyan is young massive blue stars, formed from colliding gas & lighting it
An edge-on spiral galaxy. Seems to lack a central bulge, though it's hard to say, making it a bulgeless edge-on spiral, or a #blessEos
#warped #blessEos
a blue #blessEos. Or does the faint yellow haze betray an off-center bar?
Tiny nucleus, but no bulge? #blessEos
The rocket mis-fired! Given how perfect this #Eos is, the blue cloud at the left is probably #overlap
#voorwerp at the bottom, to the right?
#polarring galaxy? A rare kind of galaxy. It's a #blessEos - bulgeless edge-on spiral
#nebulosity in the foreground. I.e. in our own Milky Way
#M104type - very similar to M104, the "Sombrero galaxy"
And the yellow galaxies form #overlaps!
Am not really sure, but are they diffraction spikes coming from the nucleus? If so, it must be very bright, so #AGN!
#cool, even 😄
I concur, foreground star, background spiral, no interaction (just looks a bit like it)
That too is an #artifact. The CCD pixels in the camera get saturated in the center of bright stars, and the readout electronics goes nuts
#diffractionspike These are a common #artifact, found with bright stars, caused by the support vanes of the telescope's secondary mirror
Could be an #overlap (foreground galaxy, or star in our own galaxy)
Nice #merger! Runners in a relay race, at the baton handoff ...
If you zoom out, you'll see there's extensive foreground #nebulosity What's strange about this part of it is that it's so blue! #odd #Wow!
Almost a #ring
#Eos (edge-on spiral)
#edgeonspiral, or #Eos (goddess of dawn)
#artifact #poorqualityimage
The lower one is not quite edge-on, but it is a #redspiral (an unusual kind of spiral!)
#artifact, due to #poorqualityimage (I thought they'd gotten rid of these ...)
#WOW!! Without a spectrum, it's almost impossible to say. It could be an #overlap, a #ring, or .. But it's VERY #cool
It's very nice, but no. Most likely an inner disc (or very large bulge) and loose spiral arms coming off it. Perhaps an inner #ring
Possibly, or perhaps it's an #overlap
#artifact, due to #poorqualityimage
Yes, there's a long #tidaltail, pointing down
#starformingregions, in an #asymmetrical spiral
#cool!
Yes, #ring Also, possibly a #barred one too
#overlaps
#redspiral Possible #doublenucleus
#lenticular? It's a disc, but no arms!
#WOW! Indeed! I think it's a wonderful #overlap
#beautiful! #merger
Possibly a #tidaltail, but we can't really tell because it's right at the edge of the image ...
This is in Stripe82 (I think), and is (very likely) just two #stars
#dustlane
#merger
#doublenucleus! Or, perhaps, an #overlap Least likely, a foreground star
#Celticknot!
Many #starformingregions Loose spiral, possibly foreground #irregular Nice yellow galaxy in background, several smaller ones, so #overlap
Nice ring; looks too asymmetrical to be an Einstein ring (IMHO)
#poorqualityimage #artifact
The sky is very noisy; there's a tiny, cyan-colored dot above and to the right of the nucleus; that's a star
#blueelliptical? or face-on #spiral, with a #featurelessdisk?
#redspiral #edgeon #odd - "spike" emerging from top end of disc
#redspiral - they are quite rare, so great find! 😃 Also #beautiful
It's an artifact, due to it being a #poorqualityimage
#poorqualityimage I misclassified it, thinking it was 'real'
bright red sky! kinda strange
Just a nice ring, I think
The bright blob @ !5 o'clock is a star (diffraction spikes give it away). the #spiral is #disturbed, IMHO ...
#artifact if you zoom out, you'll see that most of the bright objects have strange colors.
#1dominantarm #spiral
classic #warpeddisc
#odd very round central blob in a distorted faint envelope; not at all like a disc, or ETG
#asymmetrical (blob @ ~6 o'clock, not aligned with major axis of galaxy)
nice Hubble #overlap
#poorqualityimage? (color separation in two neighboring bright stars)
#overlap, possibly #merger Is this a #lenticular? or an #elliptical? perhaps a #redspiral?
#blueelliptical or disc galaxy with no arms #noarmedspiral (horrible hashtags! What would be better? #question )
Unlikely, more probably an #overlap The shape is #odd though ...
Hard to say. It could be #disturbed by a nearby galaxy, or just a #starburst for some reason Anyway, #cool! 😃
#Wow! VERY nice #merger
#dustlane #edgeonspiral
Very nice #overlap
#Wow! #beautiful #merger #longtail
Yes, it is #beautiful #barred
I don't, just what you expect when you zoom in so far. But call it as you see it! 😃
Nah, it's a #satellitetrail
#cool! May be at least one #overlap though
Or maybe #overlap (they don't look very disturbed, so maybe not a merger) Anyway #beautiful
If you zoom out, you'll see it's likely part of a #richcluster , so there may be more #overlaps than mergers
#merger if you zoom out, you can see #tidaltail debris going out a long way
#cool #AGN #merger #voorwerpje ?
#cool ! #ring
Agreed, not a jet, so #overlap
#cool !
It's a Hubble image (from CANDELS?) and they mostly look like this. #FHB (faint Hubble blob), possibly a galaxy, but not an artifact
The brighter, yellower, circular blob is a foreground star. There are faint wisps, possibly background galaxies; so maybe #overlap
#cool ! Though it might be an #overlap
the Celtic knot http://www.galaxyzooforum.org/index.php?topic=274408.0
An enigma wrapped in a riddle (surrounded by emptiness?) http://www.galaxyzooforum.org/index.php?topic=279989.0 (and one more, next)
#celticknot It's hard to say, perhaps a 3D spiral? There are some discussions of similar galaxies in the forum (see next comment)
#artifact maybe #poorqualityimage Click on Galaxy Zoo examine, -> Navigate, -> Get Image, you'll see that most of the 'stars' are odd colors
#resolved ? Local #dwarf ?
#odd ! Zoom out (Galaxy Zoo examine -> Navigate, click Get Image) you'll see that it looks more like a #tidaltail ; possible #voorwerpje
Maybe, but I think #overlap is more likely (the yellow blob is likely in the far background)
A very nice #latetypespiral ! Similar to the Larger Magellanic Cloud (a satellite galaxy to our own), but bigger many #starbursts
Certainly #merger but hard to say if there's a double nucleus or not; lots of #starburst activity though!
Entirely possible. However, if you work your way to SDSS Navigate, you'll see there are several galaxies nearby, possibly #interacting ...
If you think it has features, start there; if not, start with smooth. I think the darker yellow blob may be a background galaxy, so #overlap
Looks like they're interacting, so #merger However it may be that they're not, so #overlap
Also, #dustlane and a nice one at that!
Exactly! Well spotted!! #overlap and a very nice one too.
distant #overlap
very faint #spiral pattern?
#poorqualityimage ? The object is blue on one side, and somewhat red on the other; image problem? or #odd ?
#overlap but the yellow blob near the center hints at something #odd But zooming out you see it's a rich star field, so just a star
#overlap , possibly #merger
Some #artifact (edge of chip cuts through middle of galaxy)
faint #bar ? Hint of a #dustlane ? Another #lenticular ?
#lenticular ? A #disk with #noarms
#asymmetric , with an #offcenter #bar and #nobulge
Distant #spiral , with #starclusters , and a huge #bulge ?
#lens #arc But strangely off-center
The bright blob - at ~2 o'clock - is a star, I think. The colors are due to low elevation (color separation due to diffraction)? #question
Isn't the center a faint red blob, with some fuzz below it? In any case, it's hard classifying this sort of thing. #bug
#overlap ?
#overlap (maybe)
#overlap #odd
#bug - because the image served up for classification got the scale quite wrong.
This image is zoomed right out (why?). Click Galaxy Zoo examine, then View on SkyServer: central E-type galaxy is the one to classify
Just in case, #overlap
#BigFoot
The star has SDSS-like asteroid colors! But it's not an asteroid (this is a Hubble image) #weird
The bulge/nucleus is off-center; the galaxy appears #asymmetric
A disturbed ETG (early-type galaxy), without an obvious perturber! #cool !
#merger Sometimes the pipeline identifies a part of a galaxy as a distinct object
#barredspiral
It's a planetary nebula. The 'green' is actually red, from what's called the (Balmer) H-alpha emission line, at 656 nm
distant spiral? Hint of a bulge and (maybe) arms?
Three stars in a row; two yellow/orange, one blue.
Back in the old Galaxy Zoo we called such asterisms #paterpillars !
I think it's a #satellitetrail. They're fairly common in SDSS images, though few go right over the nucleus! Or maybe a #diffractionspike ?
Agreed #barred #spiral I think there's also a faint #ring
So, #satellite
Fantastic #merger ! Also, nice #AGN , possibly two
prominent #bar with the hint of a #ring no blue at all, so #redspiral
I'd say it's most likely an artifact, possibly a diffraction spike from a (nearby) star. The blue stuff that is.
#bulgeless #edge-on
nice #ring
Disturbed blue elliptical? Featureless (bluish) disk (i.e. lenticular)? Or is there a faint, narrow arm on the left, going from ~3 o'clock?
How come we have two separate threads with a discussion of the same object?
#questions
Obviously unreal ... no elliptical is this squashed, or are any bulges either (the way the diffspike doesn't affect the sim is unreal too)
GAMA-KiDS image. Classification tree is different from that of SDSS (DK which version is currently being used). Why?
It'd be nice to be able to vary the contrast, then the two-arm nature of this galaxy would be more obvious
#ferengified #overlap, with two MW stars. Will this mess up Mel's work?
#overlap
weird
#lens, of the traditional (not gravitational), kind
scaling failure; the galaxy in the center should, if the scaling works correctly, occupy much more the field than this
When is a "bulge" actually an AGN (visible as a point/PSF)?
ferengified overlap?
ferengified highly inclined spiral, possibly an Eos (edge-on spiral). Interesting that the bulge and disk colors are ~the same
good example of what is surely a highly inclined spiral appearing smooth; although you can't see the arms, it's still a spiral!
. interesting, possible PRG (polar ring galaxy)?
. possible #S0, with AGN?
. possible edge-on #S0
. textbook #S0 ! 😃
. I think this is a barred lenticular, aka #SB0
#S0
nice #S0 ! 😃
very nice merger!
This is really cool!
. the red is a dust lane, a very spectacular one too! 😃
#wrongsize
. no; such optical jets are very rare, and much thinner. More likely this is a #polarring galaxy! Good find
It may be a 'dark halo' ...
#wrongsize?
Done: http://radiotalk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BRG0000002/discussions/DRG0000dhj
. Nice! Detailed FIRST contours overlaid on SDSS image (maybe DECaLS too) on order (see RGZ Talk thread DRG00006wd for details).
. if so, it's the sort of thing Kyle is extremely interested in! 😃
also Illustris nothing
Illustris nothing
sorry; ETG means "early-type galaxy", an elliptical or lenticular in the Hubble scheme. ETGs are characterized by a lack of star-formation
an 'empty' Illustris sim? There seems to be no galaxy here ...
another Illustris barred ETG ... they seem quite common, no?
#ringed lens (per Buta) rather than bar
unusual merger?
another Illustris sim without a nucleus!
'abnormally' large nucleus? or ETG with prominent bulge, a lenticular perhaps?
. I always check the inverted image, but can't see how to do that; myself I can't answer (it looks smooth, but maybe features in inverted?)
. definitely one of the most photogenic Illustris sims posted to date!
. very likely a foreground star, in our own galaxy. This is an Illustris sim, in which the background is taken, at random, from SDSS ...
. this is from Illustris, a sim. The blue spots represent star-forming regions, perhaps star clusters
. the most spectacular Illustris sim I've seen so far! 😃
. and in Illustris! 😃
. anyone else see a ring, or an 'almost ring'? Hints of two CCW arms coming frim the ends of the bar?
another 'barred ETG' sim, almost an Eos embedded in an E~4 ...
another barred ETG, but disturbed; late merger?
beautiful ... why is it white? Sc (?) spirals like this are normally blue, aren't they?
looks like a merger, but the main galaxy appears quite undisturbed
SFR in/near the nucleus of an E0! wow!
@Capella05 - I can only comment on an object/image I classify after I've classified it; such comments cannot possibly influence my clicks ..
no nucleus! another unreal sim?
star overlapping almost the nucleus? or another galaxy, merging/overlapping? per SDSS, yep
. This is an Illustris sim; 'blue' parts of the central galaxy represent star-forming regions (there are no dust clouds in Illustris)
. as it's an Illustris sim, we know it can't be a SN; rather it's a foreground star or background galaxy from SDSS
Illustris: one-sided blue stuff is quite unlike any SDSS object?
Illustris: blue core/nucleus is unusual, for a sim ETG, right?
. I think it's an Illustris feature, real mergers (I think this is a 3-way) have lots of dust lanes + more intense star formation regions
looks like an overlap to me, or some sort of merger
Eos (edge-on spiral), rounded/boxy/no bulge? There's a nucleus, but is it a bulge?
4-arm #spiral !
eyes playing tricks? Is the nucleus (central bright bit) elongated? major axis different from overall one? If so, rarely seen in SDSS
messy major merger?
An obvious ~E0 ... with an obvious bar, but no dust lane! Unlike anything you'll see in SDSS?
star? or compact galaxy?
#polarring candidate
"secular evolution" I think; it's an example of outer Linblad resonance see Buta: http://ned.ipac.caltech.edu/level5/Sept11/Buta/Buta6.html

Possibly a #polarringgalaxy Very nice! 😄
It's a disturbed spiral, possibly with a #bar. It may be a #merger, or an #irregular
I think it's an Sa (Hubble sequence), partly because of the obvious #dustlane
Zoom out, you'll see lots of faint blobs. These are stars, rather than faint distant galaxies. That's odd - because the galactic lat is -41!
It looks like a #dwarf spheroid, but embedded in a larger, face-on disk. The various blobs are likely background, except perhaps the yellow
Possibly - the central object looks disturbed - but you can't tell for sure without knowing the redshifts of each (could be an #overlap)
#star, so #artifact. The 4 big spikes are diffraction spikes, and the circles Airy rings
More likely a #barred spiral, towards the end of the Hubble sequence, so an Sd or perhaps Sm
Souped-up version of the LMC (Large Magellanic Cloud, a Local Group irregular galaxy)

Indeed. The irregular red stuff is interesting: #tidaldebris? #lensed background objects?

Yes, each blob is like the 30 Doradus nebula (a.k.a. Tarantula Nebula) in the Large Magellanic Cloud.
#overlap. I can't see any sign of disturbance (though merging ellipticals don't always show that).
I think it's the yellow-orange fuzzball

Is the green blob a foreground star? Or part of a spiral arm? or an artifact?

giant, faint arm: from left (9 o'clock) end up, and over to the right; opposite the more obvious arm (which is short and stubby)
It's a double star, at the edge; 'normal' colors:
http://skyserver.sdss3.org/dr8/en/tools/chart/navi.asp?ra=51.38202027&dec=77.39905408
You don't. Had the image been processed as other SDSS ones (and the raw data OK), it might look like an ETG, or a star, or artifact, or ...
Whoops! If it's too bright, it cannot possibly be a supernova (not in that galaxy). "Too bright"? Much brighter than the galaxy itself.
Looks more like a #blueelliptical to me
#bentarms
#Wow

A bright star (bright being relative, bright for Hubble, far far far too faint to see with your own eyes) #diffractionspike
That's a bright #star, with #diffractionspikes
#poorqualityimage - the image processing grossly exaggerated the very tiny color tints
Awesome eh? Only a short period (can 100's of millions of years be called 'short'?) between star-forming ending and dust disappearing
how to differentiate a supernova from foreground star? If it's not too bright, by looking at the image alone, you can't.

Yes. When we see an Eos (edge-on spiral) "dustlane", it's real; but the same thing in a star isn't! Or perhaps many Eos' dustlanes aren't?!?

Yes, it's a very nice #overlap (or two)
It's a #merger, and the nucleus of the bottom (pink) galaxy contains an #AGN; the blue one may also have an AGN Pity there's no spectrum
You won't 'see' any black holes in SDSS or Hubble images! Except as bright, star-like galactic nuclei (i.e. their accretion disks)
Yes, they are likely (very) distant giant elliptical galaxies, called LRGs (luminous red galaxies). But it's hard to be certain

I concur, foreground star, background spiral, no interaction (just looks a bit like it)
That too is an #artifact. The CCD pixels in the camera get saturated in the center of bright stars, and the readout electronics goes nuts
#diffractionspike These are a common #artifact, found with bright stars, caused by the support vanes of the telescope's secondary mirror

A very nice #latetypespiral ! Similar to the Larger Magellanic Cloud (a satellite galaxy to our own), but bigger many #starbursts
Certainly #merger but hard to say if there's a double nucleus or not; lots of #starburst activity though!
Entirely possible. However, if you work your way to SDSS Navigate, you'll see there are several galaxies nearby, possibly #interacting ...
If you think it has features, start there; if not, start with smooth. I think the darker yellow blob may be a background galaxy, so #overlap
Looks like they're interacting, so #merger However it may be that they're not, so #overlap
Also, #dustlane and a nice one at that!
#satellitetrail
Exactly! Well spotted!! #overlap and a very nice one too.
distant #overlap
very faint #spiral pattern?
#poorqualityimage ? The object is blue on one side, and somewhat red on the other; image problem? or #odd ?
#overlap
#overlap but the yellow blob near the center hints at something #odd But zooming out you see it's a rich star field, so just a star
#overlap , possibly #merger
Some #artifact (edge of chip cuts through middle of galaxy)
faint #bar ? Hint of a #dustlane ? Another #lenticular ?
#lenticular ? A #disk with #noarms
#asymmetric , with an #offcenter #bar and #nobulge
Distant #spiral , with #starclusters , and a huge #bulge ?
#lens #arc But strangely off-center
#asymmetrical
The bright blob - at ~2 o'clock - is a star, I think. The colors are due to low elevation (color separation due to diffraction)? #question
Isn't the center a faint red blob, with some fuzz below it? In any case, it's hard classifying this sort of thing. #bug
#overlap ?
#overlap (maybe)
#overlap #odd
#bug - because the image served up for classification got the scale quite wrong.
This image is zoomed right out (why?). Click Galaxy Zoo examine, then View on SkyServer: central E-type galaxy is the one to classify
Just in case, #overlap
#BigFoot
The star has SDSS-like asteroid colors! But it's not an asteroid (this is a Hubble image) #weird
The bulge/nucleus is off-center; the galaxy appears #asymmetric
#tadpole
#merger
A disturbed ETG (early-type galaxy), without an obvious perturber! #cool !
#merger Sometimes the pipeline identifies a part of a galaxy as a distinct object

#barredspiral
It's a planetary nebula. The 'green' is actually red, from what's called the (Balmer) H-alpha emission line, at 656 nm
distant spiral? Hint of a bulge and (maybe) arms?
Three stars in a row; two yellow/orange, one blue.
Back in the old Galaxy Zoo we called such asterisms #paterpillars !
#poorqualityimage
I think it's a #satellitetrail. They're fairly common in SDSS images, though few go right over the nucleus! Or maybe a #diffractionspike ?
Agreed #barred #spiral I think there's also a faint #ring
So, #satellite
#overlap
Fantastic #merger ! Also, nice #AGN , possibly two
prominent #bar with the hint of a #ring no blue at all, so #redspiral
I'd say it's most likely an artifact, possibly a diffraction spike from a (nearby) star. The blue stuff that is.
#bulgeless #edge-on
nice #ring
Disturbed blue elliptical? Featureless (bluish) disk (i.e. lenticular)? Or is there a faint, narrow arm on the left, going from ~3 o'clock?
How come we have two separate threads with a discussion of the same object?
