The NGC 4013 tale: a pseudo-bulged, late-type spiral shaped by a major merger
Many spiral galaxy haloes show stellar streams with various morphologies when observed with deep images. The origin of these tidal features is discussed, either coming from a satellite infall or caused by residuals of an ancient, gas-rich major merger ...

Gas-Rich Companions of Isolated Galaxies [PDF]
We have used the VLA to search for gaseous remnants of the galaxy formation process around six extremely isolated galaxies. We found two distinct HI clouds around each of two galaxies in our sample (UGC 9762 & UGC 11124).

Close Pairs as Proxies for Galaxy Cluster Mergers
Galaxy cluster merger statistics are an important component in understanding the formation of large-scale structure. Unfortunately, it is difficult to study merger properties and evolution directly because the identification of cluster mergers in ...

An Integral Field Study of Abundance Gradients in Nearby LIRGs [PDF]
We present for the first time metallicity maps generated using data from the Wide Field Spectrograph (WiFeS) on the ANU 2.3m of 9 Luminous Infrared Galaxies (LIRGs) and discuss the abundance gradients and distribution of metals in these systems.

Mergers and galaxy evolution [PDF]
Galaxy merging is the late time manifestation of the galaxy formation process and likely significantly effects z < 1 galaxies. A "maximum reasonable rate" model for merging finds a ,~ 2 mag K band increase in the luminosities of dwarf galaxies so that they contribute significantly to the faint counts, with spirals and ellipticals being far less ...

Galaxy mergers and gravitational lens statistics [PDF]
We investigate the impact of hierarchical galaxy merging on the statistics of gravitational lensing of distant sources. Since no definite theoretical predictions for the merging history of luminous galaxies exist, we adopt a parametrized prescription, which allows us to adjust the expected number of pieces comprising a typical present galaxy at z=0.65.

New Arabic Records From Cairo on Supernovae 1181 and 1006
ABSTRACT The remnant of the historical supernova SN 1181 is under discussion: While the previously suggested G130.7+3.1 (3C58) appears too old (3000–5000 year), the unusual star IRAS00500+6713 with a surrounding nebula (Pa‐30) has an expansion age not inconsistent with a SN Iax explosion in ad 1181 under the assumption that neither acceleration nor ...

Enhanced Star Formation and Black Hole Accretion Rates in Galaxy Mergers in IllustrisTNG50
Many theoretical and observational studies have suggested that galaxy mergers may trigger enhanced star formation or active galactic nucleus activity.

A dissociative merger is formed by the interplay of ram pressure and gravitational forces, which can lead to a spatial displacement of the dark matter and baryonic components of the recently collided subclusters. CIZA J0107.7+5408 is a nearby ( z = 0.105)
