A Citizen-Science-enabled Comprehensive Search for XUV-disk Galaxies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 March 2017
Abstract
Initial efforts to identify extended UV disk (XUV-disk) galaxies were confined to nearby targets using image products from early in the GALEX mission. We developed a beta Zooniverse-based citizen science project to address this issue, specifically (1) allowing a dramatically larger galaxy sample by crowd-sourcing blink comparison UV-optical image inspection to volunteers, and (2) incorporating all archived GALEX data for each target considered. We aim to widely deploy this project to the public within the upcoming year.
