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 ...

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.

Gravitational Fragmentation in Galaxy Mergers: A Stability Criteria [PDF]
, 2012 We study the gravitational stability of gaseous streams in the complex environment of a galaxy merger, because mergers are known to be places of ongoing massive cluster formation and bursts of star formation. We find an analytic stability parameter for

Magnetic fields during galaxy mergers [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2016 Galaxy mergers are expected to play a central role for the evolution of galaxies, and may have a strong impact on their magnetic fields. We present the first grid-based 3D magneto-hydrodynamical simulations investigating the evolution of magnetic fields during merger events. For this purpose, we employ a simplified model considering the merger event of

Possible orbits of a satellite galaxy for shell formation in galaxy merger events [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical JournalWe investigated formation of stellar shells in mergers between the host spiral galaxy and its satellite galaxy in different scenarios. Results of previous works showed that stellar shells are formed in very radial mergers. We run N-body simulations for 4

Interacting galaxies and mergers
Nature Astronomy, 2019 Two landmark papers in the 1970s contributed strongly to establishing the importance of galaxy interactions and mergers in the formation and evolution of galaxies, using only gravity, and the ensuing dynamical friction.

THE MERGER-DRIVEN EVOLUTION OF MASSIVE GALAXIES [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2010 We explore the rate and impact of galaxy mergers on the massive galaxy population using the amplitude of the two-point correlation function on small scales for M > 5e10 M_sun galaxies from the COSMOS and COMBO-17 surveys. Using a pair fraction derived from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey as a low-redshift benchmark, the large survey area at ...

Eight Gigayears of Galaxy Mergers [PDF]
, 2010 Galaxy interactions are expected to play a crucial role in the build--up of stellar mass in any cold dark matter cosmology. Of particular interest are the mergers between systems of a comparable mass, as they are predicted to be one of the main modes of ...
