Galaxy Zoo: unwinding the winding problem โ observations of spiral bulge prominence and arm pitch angles suggest local spiral galaxies are winding
We use classifications provided by citizen scientists though Galaxy Zoo to investigate the correlation between bulge size and arm winding in spiral galaxies. Whilst the traditional spiral sequence is based on a combination of both measures, and is supposed to favour arm winding where disagreement exists, we demonstrate that, in โฆ
