Reanalysis of the Spin Direction Distribution of Galaxy Zoo SDSS Spiral Galaxies

Table 5

The distribution of galaxy spin directions in the hemisphere . The analysis is carried out by applying the SpArcFiRe algorithm after selecting spiral galaxies using Galaxy Zoo (GZ) annotations and computer annotations and by applying SpArcFiRe with no selection of spiral galaxies at all.
