The bulk of the black hole growth since z~1 occurs in a secular universe: No major merger-AGN connection
Mauricio Cisternas, Knud Jahnke, Katherine J. Inskip +21
What is the relevance of major mergers and interactions as triggering mechanisms for active galactic nuclei (AGN) activity? To answer this longstanding question, we analyze 140 XMM…
Systematic errors in weighted 2-point correlation functions: An application to interaction-induced star formation
Aday R. Robaina, Eric F. Bell
Weighted correlation functions are an increasingly important tool for understanding how galaxy properties depend on their separation from each other. We use a mock galaxy sample dr…
The merger-driven evolution of massive galaxies
Aday R. Robaina, Eric F. Bell, Arjen van der Wel +5
We explore the rate and impact of galaxy mergers on the massive galaxy population using the amplitude of the two-point correlation function on small scales for M > 5e10 M_sun galax…
