This paper studies pseudo-bulges (P-bulges) and classical bulges (C-bulges) in Sloan Digital Sky Survey central galaxies using the new bulge indicator $DeltaSigma_1$, which measures relative central stellar-mass surface density within 1 kpc. We compare $DeltaSigma_1$ to the established bulge-type indicator $Deltalanglemu_erangle$ from Gadotti (2009) and show that classifying by $DeltaSigma_1$ agrees well with $Deltalanglemu_erangle$. $DeltaSigma_1$ requires no bulge-disk decomposition and can be measured on SDSS images out to $z = 0.07$. Bulge types using it are mapped onto twenty different structural and stellar-population properties for 12,000 SDSS central galaxies with masses 10.0 < log $M_*$/$M_{odot}$ < 10.4. New trends emerge from this large sample. Structural parameters show fairly linear log-log relations vs. $DeltaSigma_1$ and $Deltalanglemu_erangle$ with only moderate scatter, while stellar-population parameters show a highly non-linear elbow in which specific star-formation rate remains roughly flat with increasing central density and then falls rapidly at the elbow, where galaxies begin to quench. P-bulges occupy the low-density end of the horizontal arm of the elbow and are universally star-forming, while C-bulges occupy the elbow and the vertical branch and exhibit a wide range of star-formation rates at fixed density. The non-linear relation between central density and star-formation rate has been seen before, but this mapping onto bulge class is new. The wide range of star-formation rates in C-bulges helps to explain why bulge classifications using different parameters have sometimes disagreed in the past. The elbow-shaped relation between density and stellar indices suggests that central structure and stellar-populations evolve at different rates as galaxies begin to quench.

We study Red Misfits, a population of red, star-forming galaxies in the local Universe. We classify galaxies based on inclination-corrected optical colours and specific star formation rates derived from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7. Al
though the majority of blue galaxies are star-forming and most red galaxies exhibit little to no ongoing star formation, a small but significant population of galaxies ($sim$11 per cent at all stellar masses) are classified as red in colour yet actively star-forming. We explore a number of properties of these galaxies and demonstrate that Red Misfits are not simply dusty or highly-inclined blue cloud galaxies or quiescent red galaxies with poorly-constrained star formation. The proportion of Red Misfits is nearly independent of environment and this population exhibits both intermediate morphologies and an enhanced likelihood of hosting an AGN. We conclude that Red Misfits are a transition population, gradually quenching on their way to the red sequence and this quenching is dominated by internal processes rather than environmentally-driven processes. We discuss the connection between Red Misfits and other transition galaxy populations, namely S0s, red spirals and green valley galaxies.
We explore stellar population properties separately in the bulge and the disk of double-component cluster galaxies to shed light on the formation of lenticular galaxies in dense environments. We study eight low-redshift clusters from the Sydney-AAO M
ulti-object Integral field (SAMI) Galaxy Survey, using 2D photometric bulge-disk decomposition in the $g$, $r$ and $i$-bands to characterize galaxies. For 192 double-component galaxies with $M_{*}>10^{10~}M_{odot}$ we estimate the color, age and metallicity of the bulge and the disk. The analysis of the $g-i$ colors reveals that bulges are redder than their surrounding disks with a median offset of 0.12$pm$0.02 mag, consistent with previous results. To measure mass-weighted age and metallicity we investigate three methods: (i) one based on galaxy stellar mass weights for the two components, (ii) one based on flux weights and (iii) one based on radial separation. The three methods agree in finding 62% of galaxies having bulges that are 2-3 times more metal-rich than the disks. Of the remaining galaxies, 7% have bulges that are more metal-poor than the disks, while for 31% the bulge and disk metallicities are not significantly different. We observe 23% of galaxies being characterized by bulges older and 34% by bulges younger with respect to the disks. The remaining 43% of galaxies have bulges and disks with statistically indistinguishable ages. Redder bulges tend to be more metal-rich than the disks, suggesting that the redder color in bulges is due to their enhanced metallicity relative to the disks instead of differences in stellar population age.
We present a study of a sample of 223 radio-loud quasars (up to redshift $<$0.3) in order to investigate their spectral properties. Twenty-six of these radio-loud quasars are identified as Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars (FSRQs) and fifty-four are identi
fied as Steep Spectrum Radio Quasars (SSRQs) based on their radio spectral index. We study the [O III] line properties of these quasars to investigate the origin and properties of blue wings (shift of the profile towards lower wavelengths) and blue outliers (shift of the whole spectroscopic feature). Most of the quasars show blue wings with velocities up to 420 km $s^{-1}$. We find that around 17% of the quasars show outliers with velocities spanning 419 to -315 km $s^{-1}$. Finally, we revisit the $it M_{rm BH} - sigma$ relation of our sample using [S II]$lambda$6716, 6731 and [O III] linewidths as surrogates for stellar velocity dispersions, $sigma$, to investigate their location on the $it M_{rm BH} - sigma$ relation for quiescent galaxies. Due to the strong blending of [S II] with $rm H_{alpha}$, we could estimate $sigma_{[rm SII]}$ of only 123 quasars. We find that the radio-loud quasars do not show a relationship between $it M_{rm BH}$ and $sigma_{rm [SII]/[OIII]}$ up to a redshift of 0.3, although they cluster around the local relation. We find an overall offset of 0.12$pm$0.05 dex of our sample of radio-loud quasars from the $it M_{rm BH} - sigma$ relation of quiescent galaxies. Quasars in our highest redshift bin (z=0.25-0.3) show a deviation of $sim$0.33 $pm$ 0.06 dex with respect to the local relation.
We present the ensemble properties of 31 comets (27 resolved and 4 unresolved) observed by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). This sample of comets represents about 1 comet per 10 million SDSS photometric objects. Five-band (u,g,r,i,z) photometry i
s used to determine the comets colors, sizes, surface brightness profiles, and rates of dust production in terms of the Af{rho} formalism. We find that the cumulative luminosity function for the Jupiter Family Comets in our sample is well fit by a power law of the form N(< H) propto 10(0.49pm0.05)H for H < 18, with evidence of a much shallower fit N(< H) propto 10(0.19pm0.03)H for the faint (14.5 < H < 18) comets. The resolved comets show an extremely narrow distribution of colors (0.57 pm 0.05 in g - r for example), which are statistically indistinguishable from that of the Jupiter Trojans. Further, there is no evidence of correlation between color and physical, dynamical, or observational parameters for the observed comets.
