The dependence of triggering mechanisms on radio AGN sub-types: the role of galaxy mergers
Freya Barwell, Clive N. Tadhunter, Jonathon C. S. Pierce +10
Powerful, radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) are associated with one of the most important forms of AGN feedback, and understanding how they are triggered is key to properly i…
Galaxy interactions are the dominant trigger for local type 2 quasars
J. C. S. Pierce, C. Tadhunter, C. Ramos Almeida +8
The triggering mechanism for the most luminous, quasar-like active galactic nuclei (AGN) remains a source of debate, with some studies favouring triggering via galaxy mergers, but…
Do AGN triggering mechanisms vary with radio power? II. The importance of mergers as a function of radio power and optical luminosity
J. C. S. Pierce, C. N. Tadhunter, Y. Gordon +7
Investigation of the triggering mechanisms of radio AGN is important for improving our general understanding of galaxy evolution. In the first paper in this series, detailed morpho…
