Galaxy pairs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey - IV: Interactions trigger AGN
Sara L. Ellison, David R. Patton, J. Trevor Mendel +1
Galaxy-galaxy interactions are predicted to cause gas inflows leading to enhanced nuclear star formation. In this paper we test the further prediction that the gas inflows lead to…
The impact of gas inflows on star formation rates and metallicities in barred galaxies
Sara L. Ellison, Preethi Nair, David R. Patton +3
The star formation rates (SFRs) and metallicities of a sample of 294 galaxies with visually classified, strong, large-scale bars are compared to a control sample of unbarred disk g…
Compact groups in theory and practice -- IV. The connection to large-scale structure
J. Trevor Mendel, Sara L. Ellison, Luc Simard +2
We investigate the properties of photometrically-selected compact groups (CGs) in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. In this paper, the fourth in a series, we focus on understanding the…
