Beyond the Brightest: A Deep Learning Approach to Identifying Major and Minor Galaxy Mergers in CANDELS at
Aimee L. Schechter, Aleksandra ÄiprijanoviÄ, Xuejian Shen +5
Galaxy mergers play an important role in galaxy evolution. Therefore, accurate merger identifications are paramount for achieving a complete understanding of how galaxies evolve. A…
Recoiling Black Hole Candidates from Spatially Offset Broad Emission Lines in MaNGA
R. Scott Barrows, Julia M. Comerford, James Negus +1
From the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) survey, we identify 14 off-nuclear broad (FWHM>1000 km/s) Halpha and/or Hbeta emission line sources that indica…
Molecular Gas in Major Mergers Hosting Dual and Single AGN at <10 kpc Nuclear Separations
Makoto A. Johnstone, Ezequiel Treister, Franz E. Bauer +24
We present high-resolution (50100 pc) Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) observations of CO(2-1) or CO(1-0) emission in seven local ( 0.05)…
Preferential Accretion onto the Secondary Black Hole Strengthens Gravitational Wave Signals
Julia M. Comerford, Joseph Simon
Pulsar timing arrays have recently found evidence for nanohertz gravitational waves that are consistent with being produced by a cosmological population of binary supermassive blac…
Spatially Offset Active Galactic Nuclei in the Very Large Array Sky Survey: Tracers of Galaxy Mergers and Wandering Massive Black Holes
R. Scott Barrows, Julia M. Comerford
The remnants of galaxy mergers may host multiple off-nuclear massive black holes (MBHs), some of which may wander indefinitely within the host galaxy halos. Tracing the population…
Enhanced Star Formation and Black Hole Accretion Rates in Galaxy Mergers in IllustrisTNG50
Aimee L. Schechter, Shy Genel, Bryan Terrazas +6
Many theoretical and observational studies have suggested that galaxy mergers may trigger enhanced star formation or active galactic nuclei (AGN) activity. We present an analysis o…
