The Spitzer Spirals, Bridges, and Tails Interacting Galaxy Survey: Interaction-Induced Star Formation in the Mid-Infrared
Beverly J. Smith, C. Struck, M. Hancock +3
We present Spitzer mid-infrared imaging of a sample of 35 tidally-distorted pre-merger interacting galaxy pairs selected from the Arp Atlas. We compare their global mid-infrared pr…
Large-scale Star Formation Triggering in the Low-mass Arp 82 System: A Nearby Example of Galaxy Downsizing Based on UV/Optical/Mid-IR Imaging
Mark Hancock, Beverly J. Smith, Curtis Struck +4
As part of our Spitzer Spirals, Bridges, and Tails project to help understand the effects of galaxy interactions on star formation, we analyze GALEX ultraviolet, SARA optical, and…
Star Formation in Mergers and Interacting Galaxies: Gathering the Fuel
Curtis Struck
Selected results from recent studies of star formation in galaxies at different stages of interaction are reviewed. Recent results from the Spitzer Space Telescope are highlighted.…
Triggering and Tempering Star Formation in Colliding Galaxies
Curtis Struck
Recent observational literature suggests that only a small number of colliding galaxies show substantial star formation enhancements before merging. Most have SFRs comparable to th…
IRAC and MIPS Observations of the Interacting Galaxies IC 2163 and NGC 2207: Clumpy Emission
Debra Meloy Elmegreen, Bruce G. Elmegreen, Michele Kaufman +4
IC 2163 and NGC 2207 are interacting galaxies that have been well studied at optical and radio wavelengths and simulated in numerical models to reproduce the observed kinematics an…
The Spitzer Spirals, Bridges, and Tails Interacting Galaxy Survey
B. J. Smith, C. Struck, M. Hancock +3
We present Spitzer mid-infrared images from a survey of three dozen pre-merger strongly interacting galaxy pairs selected from the Arp Atlas. The global mid-infrared colors of thes…
