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.

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.

Deep Learning for Galaxy Mergers in the Galaxy Main Sequence [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2019 Starburst galaxies are often found to be the result of galaxy mergers. As a result, galaxy mergers are often believed to lie above the galaxy main sequence: the tight correlation between stellar mass and star formation rate.

NGC 3310, a galaxy merger? [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2001 The HI structure and kinematics of the peculiar starburst galaxy NGC 3310 (Arp 217, UGC 5786) are discussed. New evidence bearing on the origin of the starburst is presented.

Galaxy mergers in a fractal cosmology
European Physical Journal C: Particles and FieldsThis work discusses the influence of galaxy mergers in the evolution of a parabolic Lemaître–Tolman–Bondi (LTB) cosmology with simultaneous big bang endowed with two consecutive single fractal galaxy distributions systems possessing fractal dimension D ...

Real galaxy mergers from galaxy pair catalogues [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 ABSTRACT Mergers of galaxies are extremely violent events shaping their evolution. Such events are thought to trigger starbursts and, possibly, black hole accretion. Nonetheless, it is still not clear how to know the fate of a galaxy pair from the data available at a given time, limiting our ability to constrain the exact role of mergers.

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2009 We present the results of an Eulerian adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) hydrodynamical and N-body simulation in a $ $CDM cosmology. The simulation incorporates common cooling and heating processes for primordial gas. A specific halo finder has been designed and applied in order to extract a sample of galaxy clusters directly obtained from the simulation ...

Magnetic fields during galaxy mergers [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2016 Galaxy mergers are expected to play a central role for the evolution of galaxies, and may have a strong impact on their magnetic fields. We present the first grid-based 3D magneto-hydrodynamical simulations investigating the evolution of magnetic fields during merger events. For this purpose, we employ a simplified model considering the merger event of

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

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.
