Compact groups in theory and practice - III. Compact groups of galaxies in the Sixth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Alan McConnachie, David Patton, Sara Ellison +1
We present the largest publicly available catalogue of compact groups of galaxies identified using the original selection criteria of Hickson, selected from the Sixth Data Release…
Compact groups in theory and practice - II. Comparing the observed and predicted nature of galaxies in compact groups
Crystal M. Brasseur, Alan W. McConnachie, Sara L. Ellison +1
We examine the properties of galaxies in compact groups identified in a mock galaxy catalogue based upon the Millennium Run simulation. The overall properties of groups identified…
Compact groups in theory and practice - I. The spatial properties of compact groups
Alan W. McConnachie, Sara L. Ellison, David R. Patton
We use a mock galaxy catalogue based upon the Millennium Run simulation to investigate the intrinsic spatial properties of compact groups of galaxies. We find that approximately 30…
Galaxy Pairs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey I: Star Formation, AGN Fraction, and the Luminosity/Mass-Metallicity Relation
Sara L. Ellison, David R. Patton, Luc Simard +1
(Abridged). We present a sample of 1716 galaxies with companions within Delta v < 500 km/s, r_p < 80 kpc and stellar mass ratio 0.1 < M_1/M_2 < 10 from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey…
The Redshift Evolution of Wet, Dry, and Mixed Galaxy Mergers from Close Galaxy Pairs in the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey
Lihwai Lin, David R. Patton, David C. Koo +11
We study the redshift evolution of galaxy pair fractions and merger rates for different types of galaxies using kinematic pairs selected from the DEEP2 Redshift Survey. By paramete…
