An infrared study of local galaxy mergers
Alfredo Carpineti, Sugata Kaviraj, Ashley K. Hyde +4
We combine a large, homogeneous sample of 3000 local mergers with the Imperial IRAS Faint Source Redshift Catalogue (IIFSCz), to perform a blind far-infrared (FIR) study of t…
Chandra Observations of Galaxy Zoo Mergers: Frequency of Binary Active Nuclei in Massive Mergers
Stacy H. Teng, Kevin Schawinski, C. Megan Urry +9
We present the results from a Chandra pilot study of 12 massive galaxy mergers selected from Galaxy Zoo. The sample includes major mergers down to a host galaxy mass of 10 $…
Spheroidal post-mergers in the local Universe
Alfredo Carpineti, Sugata Kaviraj, Daniel Darg +3
Galaxy merging is a fundamental aspect of the standard hierarchical galaxy formation paradigm. Recently, the Galaxy Zoo project has compiled a large, homogeneous catalogue of 3373…
Tidal dwarf galaxies in the nearby Universe
Sugata Kaviraj, Daniel Darg, Chris Lintott +2
We present a statistical observational study of the tidal dwarf (TD) population in the nearby Universe, by exploiting a large, homogeneous catalogue of galaxy mergers compiled from…
Galaxy Zoo: Multi-Mergers and the Millennium Simulation
D. W. Darg, S. Kaviraj, C. J. Lintott +5
We present a catalogue of 39 multiple-mergers found using the mergers catalogue of the Galaxy Zoo project for and compare them to corresponding semi-analytical galaxies fro…
Galaxy Zoo: The properties of merging galaxies in the nearby Universe - local environments, colours, masses, star-formation rates and AGN activity
D. W. Darg, S. Kaviraj, C. J. Lintott +12
Following the study of Darg et al. (2009; hereafter D09a) we explore the environments, optical colours, stellar masses, star formation and AGN activity in a sample of 3003 pairs of…
