Host galaxies of luminous z0.6 quasars: Major mergers are not prevalent at the highest AGN luminosities
C. Villforth, T. Hamilton, M. M. Pawlik +10
Galaxy interactions are thought to be one of the main triggers of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), especially at high luminosities, where the accreted gas mass during the AGN lifetime…

Shape asymmetry: a morphological indicator for automatic detection of galaxies in the post-coalescence merger stages
M. M. Pawlik, V. Wild, C. J. Walcher +5
We present a new morphological indicator designed for automated recognition of galaxies with faint asymmetric tidal features suggestive of an ongoing or past merger. We use this ne…
