Asymmetries in stellar streams induced by a galactic merger
Astronomy & AstrophysicsStellar streams are sensitive to perturbations from, for example, giant molecular clouds, bars and spiral arms, infalling dwarf galaxies, or globular clusters which can imprint gaps, clumps, spurs, and asymmetries in tails.

The Astrophysical JournalWe present a comprehensive investigation into the influence of stellar bars on star formation (SF) in galaxy pairs, using a large sample of low-redshift galaxies (0.02 < z < 0.08) from the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys Data Release 8. Our analysis examines

Interacting and Merging Galaxies
, 1996 I will present a review of some of the many recent developments within the exciting and rapidly evolving field of Interacting and Merging Galaxies. I will touch both on observations and on theory, focussing on those aspects where galaxy evolution modelling may possibly contribute to our understanding.

Low-mass Galaxy Interactions Trigger Black Hole Activity
The Astrophysical Journal LettersThe existence of high- z overmassive supermassive black holes represents a major conundrum in our understanding of black hole evolution. In this Letter, we probe from the observational point of view how early Universe environmental conditions could have ...

A group of merging galaxies falling into Abell 2142
Astronomy & AstrophysicsGalaxy clusters produce a very hostile environment for galaxies: their gas gets stripped by ram pressure, they undergo galaxy interactions, and their star formation is quenched.

The Astrophysical JournalThe Whirlpool Galaxy is a well-studied grand design galaxy with two major spiral arms, and a large satellite NGC 5195. The arms both show long uniform sections with perturbations (“kinks” or sharp turns) in specific regions.

Bar Formation and Destruction in the FIRE-2 Simulations
The Astrophysical JournalThe physical mechanisms responsible for bar formation and destruction in galaxies remain a subject of debate. While we have gained valuable insight into how bars form and evolve from isolated idealized simulations, in the cosmological domain, galactic ...

WALLABY Pilot Survey: Star Formation Enhancement and Suppression in Gas-rich Galaxy Pairs
The Astrophysical JournalGalaxy interactions can significantly affect the star formation in galaxies, but it remains a challenge to achieve a consensus on the star formation rate (SFR) enhancement in galaxy pairs. Here, we investigate the SFR enhancement of gas-rich galaxy pairs

Modeling Tidal Streams and Tidal Tails around Galaxies Using Deep Wendelstein Imaging Data
The Astrophysical JournalFrom the Λ cold dark matter paradigm, it is expected that galaxies merge and grow in their environments. These processes form various tidal features depending on the merger mass ratio, orbital parameters, and gas richness. We inspected 170 $g^{\prime} $ -

High-resolution Optical IFU Spectroscopy of the Complex Galaxy Merger II Zw 096
The Astrophysical JournalLuminous and ultraluminous IR galaxies are critical for investigating feedback mechanisms due to a combination of intense star formation episodes and active galactic nuclei (AGN), particularly in the context of complex galaxy interactions.
