Interactions, Starbursts, and Star Formation
Galaxies, 2015 We study how interactions between galaxies affect star formation within them by considering a sample of almost 1500 of the nearest galaxies, all within a distance of ∼45 Mpc. We use the far-IR emission to define the massive star formation rate (SFR), and

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Extreme emission line galaxies (EELGs), where nebular emissions contribute 30%–40% of the flux in certain photometric bands, are ubiquitous in the early Universe ( z > 6).

Observations of interacting galaxies NGC 2341 and NGC 2342 in X-ray band
Вісник Астрономічної школи, 2018 The study of radiation of the interacting galaxies in different ranges enables to identify various processes occurring in them. The most active processes (such as star birth, material accretion onto the black holes, burster flashes, etc.) cause the ...

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Through adaptive optics (AO) imaging with the SOUL+LUCI instrument at the Large Binocular Telescope we were able to resolve, for the first time, individual stars in the gas-rich galaxy DDO68 C. This system was already suggested to be interacting with the

Galaxy Zoo: Mergers – Dynamical models of interacting galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016 The dynamical history of most merging galaxies is not well understood. Correlations between galaxy interaction and star formation have been found in previous studies, but require the context of the physical history of merging systems for full insight into the processes that lead to enhanced star formation.

Are Disks of Satellites Comprised of Tidal Dwarf Galaxies?
Galaxies, 2021 It was found that satellites of nearby galaxies can form flattened co-rotating structures called disks of satellites or planes of satellites. Their existence is not expected by the current galaxy formation simulations in the standard dark matter-based ...

Characterization of Bars Induced by Interactions
Galaxies, 2016 Whether the formation of bars is triggered by interactions or by internal processes has been discussed for many decades. In this work, we study differences between both mechanisms by means of numerical simulations.

Galaxy Interactions: The Hi Signature [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1999 HI observations are an excellent tool for investigating tidal interactions. Ongoing major and minor interactions which can lead to traumatic mergers or to accretion and the triggering of star formation, show distinct HI signatures. Interactions and mergers in the recent past can also be recognized in the HI structure and kinematics.

Galaxy Zoo: quantifying morphological indicators of galaxy interaction★ [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2012 We use Galaxy Zoo 2 visual classifications to study the morphological signatures of interaction between similar-mass galaxy pairs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We find that many observable features correlate with projected pair separation; not only obvious indicators of merging, disturbance and tidal tails, but also more regular features, such as ...

GOALS-JWST: Pulling Back the Curtain on the AGN and Star Formation in VV 114
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We present results from the James Webb Space Telescope Director’s Discretionary Time Early Release Science program 1328 targeting the nearby, luminous infrared galaxy, VV 114.
