Interacting galaxies in the IllustrisTNG simulations -- I: Triggered star formation in a cosmological context

David R. Patton, Kieran D. Wilson, Colin J. Metrow +7

We use the IllustrisTNG cosmological hydrodynamical simulations to investigate how the specific star formation rates (sSFRs) of massive galaxies $(M_{\ast }>10^{10}{M}_{\odot })$ depend on…
