Galaxy evolution in the post-merger regime. III -- The triggering of active galactic nuclei peaks immediately after coalescence

The Open Journal of Astrophysics
Galaxy mergers have been shown to trigger AGN in the nearby universe, but the timescale over which this process happens remains unconstrained. The Multi-Model Merger Identifier (MUMMI) machine vision pipeline has been demonstrated to provide reliable ...

Anisotropic Velocity Fluctuations in Galaxy Mergers: A Probe of the Magnetic Field

The Astrophysical Journal
Magnetic fields and turbulence are fundamental to the evolutions of galaxies, yet their precise measurement and analysis present significant challenges.

A Physically Motivated Framework to Compare the Merger Timescales of Isolated Low- and High-mass Galaxy Pairs Across Cosmic Time

The Astrophysical Journal
The merger timescales of isolated low-mass pairs (10 ^8 < M _* < 5 × 10 ^9 M _⊙ ) on cosmologically motivated orbits have not yet been studied in detail, though isolated high-mass pairs (5 × 10 ^9 < M _* < 10 ^11 M _⊙ ) have been studied extensively.

The Growth of Galaxy Stellar Haloes over 0.2 ≤ z ≤ 1.1

The Astrophysical Journal
Galaxies are predicted to assemble their stellar haloes through the accretion of stellar material from interactions with their cosmic environment. Observations that trace stellar halo buildup probe the processes that drive galaxy size and stellar mass ...
