Galaxy pairs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey - VIII: The observational properties of post-merger galaxies
Sara L. Ellison, J. Trevor Mendel, David R. Patton +1
In order to investigate the effects of galaxy mergers throughout the interaction sequence, we present a study of 10,800 galaxies in close pairs and a smaller sample of 97 post-merg…
Galaxy pairs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey - VI. The orbital extent of enhanced star formation in interacting galaxies
David R. Patton, Paul Torrey, Sara L. Ellison +2
We use pair and environmental classifications of ~ 211,000 star-forming galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, along with a suite of merger simulations, to investigate the enh…
Galaxy pairs in the Sloan digital sky survey - VII: The merger -- luminous infra-red galaxy connection
Sara L. Ellison, J. Trevor Mendel, Jillian M. Scudder +2
We use a sample of 9397 low z galaxies with a close companion to investigate the connection between mergers and luminous infra-red (IR) galaxies (LIRGs). The pairs are selected fro…
