Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies: Mergers of Sub‐L* Galaxies? [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2001
A sample of 27 low-redshift, mostly cool, ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) has been imaged at 1.6 μm with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Near-Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS). The majority (67%) of the sample's galaxies are multiple-nucleus galaxies with projected separations of up to 17 kpc, and the rest of the sample ...

Galaxy Zoo: Major Galaxy Mergers Are Not a Significant Quenching Pathway* [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2017
Abstract We use stellar mass functions to study the properties and the significance of quenching through major galaxy mergers. In addition to SDSS DR7 and Galaxy Zoo 1 data, we use samples of visually selected major galaxy mergers and post-merger galaxies.

Caught in the web: Galaxy mergers along cosmic filaments

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. 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 ...

Spatially Offset Active Galactic Nuclei III: Discovery of Late-Stage Galaxy Mergers with The Hubble Space Telescope

, 2018
Galaxy pairs with separations of only a few kpc represent important stages in the merger-driven growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs). However, such mergers are difficult to identify observationally due to the correspondingly small angular scales ...

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.

Simulations of Galaxy Mergers [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1983
The last few years have seen a considerable amount of effort devoted to the problem of simulating the coalescence of galaxies. After a discussion of the merits and limitations of the N-body techniques that have been used, I summarise the insight this research gives into the mechanisms driving strong interactions in galaxy collisions and into the ...

Improved Constraints on Mergers with SZ, Hydrodynamical simulations, Optical, and X-ray (ICM-SHOX) [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
Galaxy 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 Outer Stellar Halos of Galaxies: how Radial Merger Mass Deposition, Shells and Streams depend on Infall-Orbit Configurations

, 2019
Galaxy mergers are a fundamental part of galaxy evolution. To study the resulting mass distributions of different kinds of galaxy mergers, we present a simulation suite of 36 high-resolution isolated merger simulations, exploring a wide range of ...

Origin and Evolution of Dust-obscured Galaxies in Galaxy Mergers

The Astrophysical Journal, 2022
Abstract 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).
