The merging/AGN connection: A case for 3D spectroscopy
arXiv:astro-ph/0310293 · doi:10.1002/asna.200310187
Abstract
We discuss an ongoing study of the connection between galaxy merging/interaction and AGN activity, based on integral field spectroscopy. We focus on the search for AGN ionization in the central regions of mergers, previously not classified as AGNs. We present here the science case, the current status of the project, and plans for future observations.
