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.

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.

Caught in the web: Galaxy mergers along cosmic filaments
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. Galaxy clusters grow through the accretion of galaxies from groups, filaments, and other clusters. During this process, galaxies may undergo pre-processing in lower density environments, where galaxy–galaxy mergers and other interactions can ...

Improved Constraints on Mergers with SZ, Hydrodynamical simulations, Optical, and X-ray (ICM-SHOX) [PDF]
EPJ Web of ConferencesGalaxy cluster mergers are representative of a wide range of physics, making them an excellent probe of the properties of dark matter and the ionized plasma of the intracluster medium.

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.

Identifying Mergers in the Legacy Surveys with Few-shot Learning
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement SeriesGalaxy mergers exert a pivotal influence on the evolutionary trajectory of galaxies and the expansive development of cosmic structures. The primary challenge encountered in machine learning–based identification of merging galaxies arises from the ...

MAGICS I. The First Few Orbits Encode the Fate of Seed Massive Black Hole Pairs
The Open Journal of AstrophysicsThe elusive massive black hole (MBH) seeds stand to be revealed by the Laser Space Antenna Interferometer through mergers. As an aftermath of galaxy mergers, MBH coalescence is a vastly multi-scale process connected to galaxy formation. We introduce the "
