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.

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.

The Role of AGN in Luminous Infrared Galaxies from the Multiwavelength Perspective
Universe, 2022 Galaxy mergers provide a mechanism for galaxies to effectively funnel gas and materials toward their nuclei and fuel the central starbursts and accretion of supermassive black holes.

The AGN Luminosity Fraction in Merging Galaxies [PDF]
, 2018 Galaxy mergers are key events in galaxy evolution, often causing massive starbursts and fueling active galactic nuclei (AGN). In these highly dynamic systems, it is not yet precisely known how much starbursts and AGN respectively contribute to the total ...

Building the red sequence through gas-rich major mergers [PDF]
, 2009 Understanding the details of how the red sequence is built is a key question in galaxy evolution. What are the relative roles of gas-rich vs. dry mergers, major vs. minor mergers or galaxy mergers vs. gas accretion? In Wild et al.

SDSS-IV MaNGA: How Galaxy Interactions Influence Active Galactic Nuclei
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present a comparative study of active galactic nuclei (AGN) between galaxy pairs and isolated galaxies with the final data release of the MaNGA integral field spectroscopic survey.

Stellar populations in gas-rich galaxy mergers II. Feedback effects of Type Ia and II supernovae [PDF]
, 1998 We numerically investigate chemodynamical evolution of major disk-disk galaxy mergers in order to explore the origin of mass-dependent chemical, photometric, and spectroscopic properties observed in elliptical galaxies.

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 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.

Molecular Gas and Star Formation in Nearby Starburst Galaxy Mergers
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We employ the Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE-2) physics model to study how the properties of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) evolve during galaxy mergers.
