The Effect of Galaxy Interactions on Starbursts in Milky Way-mass Galaxies in FIRE Simulations

The Astrophysical Journal
Simulations and observations suggest that galaxy interactions may enhance the star formation rate (SFR) in merging galaxies. One proposed mechanism is the torque exerted on the gas and stars in the larger galaxy by the smaller galaxy.

Emergence of the Galaxy Morphology–Star Formation Activity–Clustercentric Radius Relations in Galaxy Clusters

The Astrophysical Journal
We investigate when and how the relations of galaxy morphology and star-forming activity with clustercentric radius become evident in galaxy clusters. We identify 162 galaxy clusters with total mass ${{M}}_{\mathrm{tot}}^{\mathrm{cl}}\gt 5\times {10}^{13}

When is a Bulge Not a Bulge? Revealing the Satellite Nature of NGC 5474’s Bulge

The Astrophysical Journal
A satellite galaxy of the nearby spiral M101, NGC 5474 has a prominent bulge offset from the kinematic center of the underlying star-forming disk that has gained attention in recent years.

Galaxies Caught in Transition: The Role of Group Environment in Shaping the Mass–Size Relation in the Local Universe

The Astrophysical Journal
The stellar mass–size relation is a sensitive probe of how environment shapes galaxy structure. We analyse this relation in the local Universe for galaxies in compact groups (CGs), low-mass groups ( M _vir ≤ 10 ^13 M _⊙ ), and high-mass groups, comparing

Galaxy Evolution in Compact Groups. III. Structural Analysis of Galaxies and Dynamical State of Non-isolated Compact Groups

The Astrophysical Journal
Compact groups (CGs) of galaxies are dense systems where projected separations are comparable to their optical diameters. A subset—non-isolated CGs—are embedded within major structures. Using multiband S-PLUS data, we analyse galaxies in 122 non-isolated

The Progenitor of the Peculiar Galaxy NGC 3077

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present a study of the structural properties and metallicity distribution of the nearby peculiar galaxy NGC 3077. Using data from our survey of the M81 Group with the Hyper Suprime-Cam on board the Subaru Telescope, we construct deep color–magnitude ...

A Comprehensive Perturbative Formalism for Phase Mixing in Perturbed Disks. II. Phase Spirals in an Inhomogeneous Disk Galaxy with a Nonresponsive Dark Matter Halo

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We develop a linear perturbative formalism to compute the response of an inhomogeneous stellar disk embedded in a nonresponsive dark matter (DM) halo to various perturbations like bars, spiral arms, and encounters with satellite galaxies.

Merging Gas-rich Galaxies That Harbor Low-luminosity Twin Quasars at z = 6.05: A Promising Progenitor of the Most Luminous Quasars

The Astrophysical Journal
We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array [C ii ] 158 μ m line and underlying far-IR continuum emission observations (0.″57 × 0.″46 resolution) toward a quasar–quasar pair system recently discovered at z = 6.05. The quasar nuclei (C1 and C2)
