Dear all,
After a lot of hard work by all involved, we are very pleased to say that the Galaxy Zoo2 Bar-Drawing paper has finally been accepted in Monthly Notices of the Royal Society. It will appear on the arXiv tomorrow, and there are links to access the data in the paper, and on my website here and the zooniverse repository.
The paper uses the results of an off-shoot Zooniverse project. This project present users with SDSS GalaxyZoo2 galaxies using the Google Maps interface, and asked the users to preform certain tasks.
Many of the galaxies had been classified by GZoo2 as containing a bar (an elongated structure extending across the center of the galaxy) and the users were asked to measure the bar length and thickness, and determine how the bar and spiral arms were connected, see the image below.
