The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Pairs of galaxies hosting active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are powerful probes of merger-driven supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth as they can resolve individual AGNs and trace mergers over a large range of physical separations.

Two Candidates for Dual AGN in Dwarf-dwarf Galaxy Mergers
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Dual active galactic nuclei (DAGN) are important for understanding galaxy-merger-triggered fueling of black holes and the hierarchical growth of structures.

Identifying Galaxy Mergers in Simulated CEERS NIRCam Images Using Random Forests
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Identifying merging galaxies is an important—but difficult—step in galaxy evolution studies. We present random forest (RF) classifications of galaxy mergers from simulated JWST images based on various standard morphological parameters.

Вісник Астрономічної школи, 2004 In this work we have simulated the evolution of disk and dwarf galaxies gravitating system, using our viscosity algorithm. We investigated changes in disk galaxy chemical abundance due to minor merger of dwarf galaxy with lower abundance of heavy ...

Isolated Galaxies versus Interacting Pairs with MaNGA
Galaxies, 2015 We present preliminary results of the spectral analysis on the radial distributions of the star formation history in both a galaxy merger and a spiral isolated galaxy observed with MaNGA.

Decoding Galactic Merger Histories
Galaxies, 2017 Galaxy mergers are expected to influence galaxy properties, yet measurements of individual merger histories are lacking. Models predict that merger histories can be measured using stellar halos and that these halos can be quantified using observations of

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The Dragonfly galaxy (MRC 0152-209), the most infrared-luminous radio galaxy at redshift z ∼ 2, is a merger system containing a powerful radio source and large displacements of gas.

Back to the Green Valley: How to Rejuvenate an S0 Galaxy through Minor Mergers
Galaxies, 2015 About half of the S0 galaxies in the nearby Universe show signatures of recent or ongoing star formation. Whether these S0 galaxies were rejuvenated by the accretion of fresh gas is still controversial.

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022 Mergers are thought to be a fundamental channel for galaxy growth, perturbing the gas dynamics and the magnetic fields ( B -fields) in the interstellar medium (ISM).
