Hello Kevin Schawinski!
I think I found another pea. It is not listed before (http://www.galaxyzooforum.org/index.php?topic=270747.0), so I hope it is a new one.
It is little a bit more blue than green.

Kevin's in office coming up with names for the peas paper:
We have of course
Galaxy Zoo: Give Peas a Chance

Living Fossils Found in Galaxy Zoo

Low Mass Actively Forming Galaxies and Black Holes . . .

Thoughts? Votes :p

As an Update: I met Daniel Thomas, Chris Lintott & Jordan Raddick at AAS.  I showed them the draft of the paper and it looks like we're finalizing on the calculations.  There is still some writing and arguing to be done, but of course I'll let you know what the results are.

While I do enjoy the clever (like a newspaper headline) "give peas a chance", I personally prefer "Low Mass Actively Forming Galaxies and Black Holes . . ."  :)
(I dislike newspaper headlines, so it comes as a bit of a surprise to me that I enjoy similar examples of cleverness in the threads)
Publish the paper on March 17  ;D

Does this mean that Peas will now have the scientific abbreviation of LOMAFs? (LOw Mass Actively Forming)

Hi Carie,

I would say let the title be an abstract of the abstract. There is no need to deviate from this rule just because this paper is based on citizen science. So, I would take "Low Mass Actively Forming Galaxies and Black Holes" or something similar. (To read the abstract would be helpful here  ;))

Cheers,

You never know . . . peas may turn out to be so interesting that people want to come back and study more. Bung 'em in the "Give peas a chance" thread. ;D ;D ;D

As noted in my recent OOTD, http://www.galaxyzooforum.org/index.php?topic=273625.0, Alice is coming to give a talk to the
BAS on the 23rd. I will also be giving a short talk on 'Peas', so if anyone is interested, please come along! Starts at 7.15pm

It is difficult to obtain spectra, but are there two peas in this image? The second being to the South West og the crosshairs.
Thanks

Hi Rob

It's difficult to say it's a pea if you don't have a spectrum. For "maybe" peas you should post them in the "Give Peas a Chance" thread.

Hi!
 Thanks for your great title suggestions:  I'm going to go with Galaxy Zoo: Living Fossils Building up Stellar and Black Hole Mass as a working title, but perhaps we can change it as the paper is finalized.

 We now have a paper full of text!  So it really is getting closer to done, even though you haven't seen any updates lately.


Finally, one thing Kevin suggested included was an image showing how truely distinct the peas are.
I was thinking of showing 1 pea image:
http://cas.sdss.org/astrodr6/en/tools/chart/chart.asp?ra=141.86949202&dec=17.6718372
And then putting up a picture of a beautiful blue spiral or big round elliptical next to it.

I know you all look at the archive alot, so do you guys have any favorite pretty pictures of galaxies like this?
