Triggering Star Formation by Galaxy-Galaxy Interactions [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 2004
We analyzed the effects of having a close companion on the star formation activity of galaxies in the 8K galaxy pair catalog selected from the 2dFGRS. We found that, statistically, galaxies with rp < 25h−1 kpc and ΔV < 100km s−1 have enhanced star formation with respect to isolated galaxies with the same luminosity and redshift distribution.

Galaxy Zoo: Mergers – Dynamical models of interacting galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016
The dynamical history of most merging galaxies is not well understood. Correlations between galaxy interaction and star formation have been found in previous studies, but require the context of the physical history of merging systems for full insight into the processes that lead to enhanced star formation.

INTERACTIONS OF GALAXIES IN THE GALAXY CLUSTER ENVIRONMENT [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2009
We study the dependence of galaxy properties on the clustercentric radius and the environment attributed to the nearest neighbor galaxy using the SDSS galaxies associated with the Abell galaxy clusters. We find that there exists a characteristic scale where the properties of galaxies suddenly start to depend on the clustercentric radius at fixed ...

Galaxy Zoo: quantifying morphological indicators of galaxy interaction★ [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2012
We use Galaxy Zoo 2 visual classifications to study the morphological signatures of interaction between similar-mass galaxy pairs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We find that many observable features correlate with projected pair separation; not only obvious indicators of merging, disturbance and tidal tails, but also more regular features, such as ...

Galaxy Interactions: The Hi Signature [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1999
HI observations are an excellent tool for investigating tidal interactions. Ongoing major and minor interactions which can lead to traumatic mergers or to accretion and the triggering of star formation, show distinct HI signatures. Interactions and mergers in the recent past can also be recognized in the HI structure and kinematics.

The SEDs of interacting galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2011
AbstractThe evolution of galaxies is greatly influenced by their interactions. As part of a program to study interacting galaxies, we have measured and modeled the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) from the ultraviolet (UV) to the far-infrared (FIR).

Hidden Interaction in SBO galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1990
Galaxies, like plants, show a large variety of grafts: an individual of some type connects physically with a neighborhood of same or different type. The effects of these interactions between galaxies have a broad range of morphologies depending, among other quantities, on the distance of the closest approach between systems and the relative size of the

Evidence for Ultra-diffuse Galaxy “Formation” through Galaxy Interactions [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2018
Abstract We report the discovery of two ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) that show clear evidence of an association with tidal material and an interaction with a larger galaxy halo, found during a search of the Wide portion of the Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey. The two new UDGs, NGC 2708-Dw1 and NGC 5631-Dw1, are faint (M
