Interacting galaxies in the IllustrisTNG simulations - IX: Mini mergers trigger AGN in cosmological simulations

Shoshannah Byrne-Mamahit, Sara L. Ellison, David R. Patton +3

Galaxy mergers are transformative events that can cause gaseous inflows capable of triggering active galactic nuclei (AGN). Previous studies of AGN in simulations have mainly focus…

The connection between galaxy mergers, star formation and AGN activity in the HSC-SSP

Kiyoaki Christopher Omori, Connor Bottrell, Sabine Bellstedt +6

Internal gas inflows driven by galaxy mergers are considered to enhance star formation rates (SFR), fuel supermassive black hole growth and stimulate active galactic nuclei (AGN).…
