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.

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

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.

The Open Journal of Astrophysics, 2023 Despite the importance of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in galaxy evolution, the mechanisms that fuel AGN activity remain poorly understood. Theoretical models suggest that major mergers of galaxies contribute strongly to AGN fuelling, particularly at ...

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, 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.

Dwarf galaxy merger-induced star formation rate: A case study of Mrk 1481
BibechanaThe merger of the galaxies serves as a trigger for the increase in the galaxy’s star formation rate (SFR), which can be quantified by observing the column density of the Hα line.

THE LOCAL DWARF GALAXIES:BUILDING BLOCKS OFMASSIVE ONES? I.THE FORNAX DWARF GALAXY
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2008 A chemical evolution of the Local Group dwarf galaxy Fornax is considered in the framework of the merger scenario. We suppose a galactic stellar halo to be formed as separate fragments which then merge; thus, we can calculate the set of such the ...
