A Cosmological Framework for the Co-Evolution of Quasars, Supermassive Black Holes, and Elliptical Galaxies: I. Galaxy Mergers & Quasar Activity [PDF]
, 2007 (Abridged) We develop a model for the cosmological role of mergers in the evolution of starbursts, quasars, and spheroidal galaxies. Combining halo mass functions (MFs) with empirical halo occupation models, we calculate where major galaxy-galaxy mergers

Galaxy Mergers in a Cosmological Context
, 2014 When the vast distances to galaxies were understood in the 20th century, galaxies were considered to be forming and evolving in isolation[1]. However, irregulars were discovered that did not fit anywhere on the Hubble “tuning fork” [2].

Jet Interaction with Galaxy Cluster Mergers
The Astrophysical JournalActive galactic nucleus (AGN) bubbles in cool-core galaxy clusters are believed to facilitate the transport of cosmic-ray electrons (CRe) throughout the cluster.

Identifying Galaxy Mergers in Simulated CEERS NIRCam Images Using Random Forests [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2022 Identifying merging galaxies is an important—but difficult—step in galaxy evolution studies. We present random forest (RF) classifications of galaxy mergers from simulated JWST images based on various standard morphological parameters.

Galaxy mergers can rapidly shut down star formation [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2022 Galaxy mergers trigger both star formation and accretion on to the central supermassive black hole. As a result of subsequent energetic feedback processes, it has long been proposed that star formation may be promptly extinguished in galaxy merger ...

Origin and Evolution of Dust-obscured Galaxies in Galaxy Mergers [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2022 Dust-obscured galaxies (DOGs), which are observationally characterized as faint in the optical and bright in the infrared, are the final stage of galaxy mergers and are essential objects in the evolution of galaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGNs ...

Radialization of Satellite Orbits in Galaxy Mergers [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2021 We consider the orbital evolution of satellites in galaxy mergers, focusing on the evolution of eccentricity. Using a large suite of N-body simulations, we study the phenomenon of satellite orbital radialization—a profound increase in the eccentricity of

Galaxy mergers in eagle do not induce a significant amount of black hole growth yet do increase the rate of luminous AGN [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 We investigate the connection between galaxy–galaxy mergers and enhanced black hole (BH) growth using the cosmological hydrodynamical eagle simulation.
