Comparison and verification methods to trace interaction-driven disturbances in galaxies

Haotian Lyu, Sarah Brough, Aman Khalid +2

Low surface brightness tidal debris around galaxies, such as tails, streams, and shells, together with other interaction-driven morphological disturbances, serve as valuable indica…

Tidal features as tracers of galaxy merger histories: the colours of tidal features in HSC-SSP

A. Desmons, S. Brough, L. Canepa +1

We measure the radial colour profiles of 32,000 galaxies drawn from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program optical imaging survey, including 1415 exhibiting tid…

Investigating the imprints of tidal features on simulated galaxy outskirts in LSST-like mock observations

Aman Khalid, Sarah Brough, Garreth Martin +5

Tidal features provide signatures of recent galaxy mergers, offering insights into the role of mergers in galaxy evolution. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory's upcoming Legacy Survey o…

Analysing the prevalence of tidal features in HSC-SSP using self-supervised representation learning

A. Desmons, S. Brough, F. Lanusse +2

We use a combination of self-supervised machine learning and visual classification to identify tidal features in a sample of 34,331 galaxies with stellar masses $\log_{10}(M_{*}/\r…

Detecting Galaxy Tidal Features Using Self-Supervised Representation Learning

Alice Desmons, Sarah Brough, Francois Lanusse

Low surface brightness substructures around galaxies, known as tidal features, are a valuable tool in the detection of past or ongoing galaxy mergers, and their properties can answ…

Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): Comparing Visually and Spectroscopically Identified Galaxy Merger Samples

Alice Desmons, Sarah Brough, Cristina Martínez-Lombilla +3

We conduct a comparison of the merging galaxy populations detected by a sample of visual identification of tidal features around galaxies as well as spectroscopically-detected clos…
