Dynamically regulated star formation in the strongly interacting Taffy galaxies [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2022 The Taffy system stands out as one of the strongest gas-rich galaxy mergers with little star formation (SF) activity. We study the causes of this SF inefficiency by observing with the IRAM 30m telescope the line emission of several species in 6 positions.

EXTRA-NUCLEAR STARBURSTS: YOUNG LUMINOUS HINGE CLUMPS IN INTERACTING GALAXIES [PDF]
, 2014 Hinge clumps are luminous knots of star formation near the base of tidal features in some interacting galaxies. We use archival Hubble Space Telescope (HST) UV/optical/IR images and Chandra X-ray maps along with Galaxy Evolution Explorer UV, Spitzer IR ...

Optical imaging for the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies. Data release and notes on interacting galaxies [PDF]
, 2014 (Abridged) The Spitzer Survey for Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G) and its more recently approved extension will lead to a set of 3.6 and 4.5 micron images for 2829 galaxies, which can be used to study many different aspects of the structure and ...

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

The Hα kinematics of interacting galaxies in 12 compact groups [PDF]
, 2014 We present new Fabry-Perot observations for a sample of 42 galaxies located in 12 compact groups of galaxies: HCG 1, HCG 14, HCG 25, HCG 44, HCG 53, HCG 57, HCG 61, HCG 69, HCG 93, VV 304, LGG 455 and Arp 314. From the 42 observed galaxies, a total of 26

Automatic quantitative morphological analysis of interacting galaxies [PDF]
Astronomy and Computing, 2013 The large number of galaxies imaged by digital sky surveys reinforces the need for computational methods for analyzing galaxy morphology. While the morphology of most galaxies can be associated with a stage on the Hubble sequence, morphology of galaxy ...

Tidal Disruption of Milky Way Satellites with Shallow Dark Matter Density Profiles
Galaxies, 2016 Dwarf galaxies of the Local Group provide unique possibilities to test current theories of structure formation. Their number and properties have put the broadly accepted cold dark matter model into question, posing a few problems. These problems now seem

, 2016 This paper presents a new hydrodynamic model of interacting galaxies based on the joint solution of multicomponent hydrodynamic equations, first moments of the collisionless Boltzmann equation and the Poisson equation for gravity. Using this model, it is

Galaxy pairs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey – VI. The orbital extent of enhanced star formation in interacting galaxies [PDF]
, 2013 We use pair and environmental classifications of ~ 211,000 star-forming galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, along with a suite of merger simulations, to investigate the enhancement of star formation as a function of separation in galaxy pairs ...
