Introducing the Condor Array Telescope. VI. Discovery of Extensive Ionized Gaseous Filaments of the Cosmic Web in the Direction of the M81 Group

The Astrophysical Journal
We used the Condor Array Telescope to obtain deep imaging observations through luminance broadband and He ii , [O iii ], He i , H α , [N ii ], and [S ii ] narrowband filters of an extended region of the M81 Group spanning ≈8 × 8 deg ^2 on the sky ...

Anatomy of the Star Formation in a Tidally Disturbed Disk Galaxy: NGC 3718

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a UV, optical, and near-IR study of the star-forming complexes in the nearby peculiar galaxy NGC 3718, using Ultraviolet Imaging telescope, Galaxy Evolution Explorer, Spitzer, and DECam Legacy Survey imaging data.

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 ...

ICM-SHOX. I. Methodology Overview and Discovery of a Gas–Dark Matter Velocity Decoupling in the MACS J0018.5+1626 Merger

The Astrophysical Journal
Galaxy cluster mergers are rich sources of information to test cluster astrophysics and cosmology. However, cluster mergers produce complex projected signals that are difficult to interpret physically from individual observational probes.

An Excess of AGNs Triggered by Galaxy Mergers in MaNGA Galaxies of Stellar Mass $\sim10^{11}$ $M_{\odot}$ [PDF]

ApJ, 963, 1 (2024)
To facilitate new studies of galaxy merger driven fueling of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), we present a catalog of 387 AGNs that we have identified in the final population of over $10,000$ $z<0.15$ galaxies observed by the SDSS-IV integral field spectroscopy survey Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA).
