Evidence for a non-universal stellar initial mass function in low-redshift high-density early-type galaxies
Aaron A. Dutton, J. Trevor Mendel, Luc Simard
We determine an absolute calibration of stellar mass-to-light ratios for the densest \simeq 3% of early-type galaxies in the local universe (redshift z\simeq 0.08) from SDSS DR7. T…
Investigating the properties of AGN feedback in hot atmospheres triggered by cooling-induced gravitational collapse
Edward C. D. Pope, J. Trevor Mendel, Stanislav S. Shabala
Radiative cooling may plausibly cause hot gas in the centre of a massive galaxy, or galaxy cluster, to become gravitationally unstable. The subsequent collapse of this gas on a dyn…
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…
Gas flows in galaxies: the relative importance of mergers and bars
Sara L. Ellison, David R. Patton, Preethi Nair +4
Galaxy-galaxy interactions and large scale galaxy bars are usually considered as the two main mechanisms for driving gas to the centres of galaxies. By using large samples of galax…
