Constraining the Major Merging History of Massive Galaxies: A Comprehensive Analysis of Close Pairs and Tidal Features Using Empirical and Simulated Data
(2021)Major galaxy merging is a fundamental aspect of the hierarchical structure-growth scenario of the universe, and it is theoretical expected to contribute to several key aspects of galaxy evolution. As such, empirically ... -
Constructing massive blue elliptical galaxies in the local universe
(2013)Over cosmic time, galaxy mass assembly has transitioned from low-mass, starforming disk galaxies to massive, quiescent elliptical galaxies. The merger hypothesis for the formation of new elliptical galaxies provides one ... -
Searching for Interacting Early Type Galaxies at Late Cosmic Times
(2015)Major gas-poor (dry) merging between two comparably massive spheroidal galaxies are post u-lated to be the central mechanism responsible for the assembly of the most massive (M[subscript star,tot] ≥ 10¹¹ M[subscript ☉]) ... -
Using WISE to Find Obscured AGN Activity in SDSS Mergers and Interactions
(University of Missouri–Kansas City, 2015)In simulations, major encounters between gas-rich galaxies are predicted to drive gas to the centers of interacting and merging systems triggering new star formation (SF) and fueling an active galactic nucleus (AGN). ...
