Observationally derived change in the star formation rate as mergers progress
W. J. Pearson, L. Wang, V. Rodriguez-Gomez +2
Galaxy mergers can change the rate at which stars are formed. We can trace when these changes occur in simulations of galaxy mergers. However, for observed galaxies we do not know…

Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1). First Euclid statistical study of the active galactic nuclei contribution fraction
Euclid Collaboration, B. Margalef-Bentabol, L. Wang +331
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) play a key role in galaxy evolution but are challenging to identify due to their varied observational signatures. Furthermore, understanding their impa…

Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1). First Euclid statistical study of galaxy mergers and their connection to active galactic nuclei
Euclid Collaboration, A. La Marca, L. Wang +334
Galaxy major mergers are a key pathway to trigger AGN. We present the first detection of major mergers in the Euclid Deep Fields and analyse their connection with AGN. We construct…
