Parallel sessions

As our community has developed increasingly sophisticated techniques to analyse the data in large galaxy surveys, we have seen a resurgence of interest in galaxy morphology. Clues to a galaxy’s formation and evolution are recorded in its morphology, and we are now seeing growing evidence that its evolution may also be affected by its internal structures. This session, marking the 10th anniversary of Galaxy Zoo, will discuss results from the use of morphological markers including the effects of bars, bulges and disks.
Rationale: Talking about morphology is a productive way of bringing together observers, simulators and theorists, and we have found such sessions to be productive. This marks (almost to the day) ten years of the Galaxy Zoo project, but the aim is to take a broad view of the use of classification within the large surveys, both traditional and IFU, which are now available.
