Interacting galaxies in the NGC 697 group of galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2016
AbstractWe studied the morphology of two brightest members of the nearby NGC 697 group of galaxies, and found evidence of satellite accretion onto the primary galaxy NGC 697 of the group as well as outer and inner irregularities of the only early-type galaxy NGC 680 of the group, which are probably shaped by recent dry merging event(s).

The Complex Multiwavelength Morphology of the Peculiar Compact Galaxy Group IC 2431

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present new Chandra X-ray imaging spectroscopy of the compact galaxy group IC 2431, and compare with archival ultraviolet, optical, infrared, and radio images. IC 2431 is a starburst system containing three tidally distorted disk galaxies.

An Interpretable AI Framework to Disentangle Self-interacting and Cold Dark Matter in Galaxy Clusters: The CKAN Approach

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Convolutional neural networks have shown their ability to differentiate between self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) and cold dark matter on galaxy cluster scales.

H i, FRB, What’s Your z: The First FRB Host Galaxy Redshift from Radio Observations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Identification and follow-up observations of the host galaxies of fast radio bursts (FRBs) not only help us understand the environments in which the FRB progenitors reside, but also provide a unique way of probing the cosmological parameters using the ...

A Galactic-scale Magnetized Wind around a Normal Star-forming Galaxy

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Galaxy formation theory identifies superwinds as a key regulator of star formation rates, galaxy growth, and chemical enrichment. Thermal and radiation pressure are known to drive galactic-scale winds in dusty starbursting galaxies (e.g., M82), but ...

On the Formation of Star-forming Galaxies Having Anomalously Low-metallicity Regions: The Role of Galaxy Interaction and Circumgalactic Medium/Intergalactic Medium Accretion

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Gas accretion from both the circumgalactic medium (CGM)/intergalactic medium (IGM) and interacting companion galaxy can dilute the gas phase metallicity of a galaxy. However, their relative contribution to the chemical evolution of galaxies remains to be

The molecular gas content throughout the low-z merger sequence

open access: yesThe Open Journal of Astrophysics
Exploiting IRAM 30 m CO spectroscopy, we find that SDSS post-merger galaxies display gas fractions and depletion times enhanced by 25-50\%, a mildly increased CO excitation, and standard molecular-to-atomic gas ratios, compared to non-interacting ...
