AstroSat-UVIT observations of a possibly interacting pair of galaxies in HCG 77

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Interactions and mergers possibly enhance the star formation in dwarf galaxies in a group environment. Aims. We aim to study star-forming regions and the spectral energy distribution of two possibly interacting galaxies, PGC 56121 and PGC 56125,

MOSEL Survey: JWST Reveals Major Mergers/strong Interactions Drive the Extreme Emission Lines in the Early Universe

open access: yesThe 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).

Optical polarimetry studies of Seyfert galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Optical imaging polarimetry has been performed on seven nearby Seyfert galaxies, three with face-on and four with edge-on host galaxies of various morphological classifications.

The Connection between Galaxy Mergers, Star Formation, and Active Galactic Nuclei Activity in the HSC-SSP

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Internal gas inflows driven by galaxy mergers are considered to enhance star formation rates (SFRs), fuel supermassive black hole growth, and stimulate active galactic nuclei (AGNs).

Interacting galaxies: corotating and counter-rotating systems with tidal tails [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We analyse interacting galaxy pairs with evidence of tidal features in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7. The pairs were selected within z< 0.1 by requiring a projected separa- tion rp < 50 h −1 kpc and relative radial velocityV < 500 km s −1 .

Simulating molecular cloud regulated star formation in Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This thesis is primarily concerned with understanding the process of galaxy formation via the simulation of the interstellar medium, star formation and supernova feedback.

GOALS-JWST: Pulling Back the Curtain on the AGN and Star Formation in VV 114

open access: yesThe 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.

Mapping the dynamics, star-formation rates, and chemical properties of galaxies with integral field spectroscopy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Major advances in the development of instruments for eight and ten meter class telescopes are revolutionising our understanding of galaxy formation. In particular, Integral Field Spectrographs (which produce a three dimensional {x, y, velocity) map of a ...

Star formation and agn activity in interacting galaxies : A near-UV perspective [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We study nearby galaxies in close pairs to study the key factors affecting star formation and AGN activity triggered during galaxy interactions. Close pairs are selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey assuming a projected separation of $

Are Disks of Satellites Comprised of Tidal Dwarf Galaxies?

open access: yesGalaxies, 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 ...
