"Beads on a String" Star Formation Tied to one of the most Powerful AGN Outbursts Observed in a Cool Core Galaxy Cluster
Osase Omoruyi, Grant R. Tremblay, Francoise Combes +19
With two central galaxies engaged in a major merger and a remarkable chain of 19 young stellar superclusters wound around them in projection, the galaxy cluster SDSS J1531+3414 ($z…
SDSS-IV MaNGA: The Incidence of Major Mergers in type I and II AGN Host Galaxies in the DR15 sample
Héctor Hernández-Toledo, Edgar Cortes-Suárez, Jose Antonio Vázquez-Mata +4
We present a study on the incidence of major mergers and their impact on the triggering of nuclear activity in 47 type I and 236 type II optically-selected AGN from the MaNGA DR15…
The First Quiescent Galaxies in TNG300
Abigail I. Hartley, Erica J. Nelson, Katherine A. Suess +12
We identify the first quiescent galaxies in TNG300, the largest volume of the IllustrisTNG cosmological simulation suite, and explore their quenching processes and time evolution t…
A declining major merger fraction with redshift in the local Universe from the largest-yet catalog of major and minor mergers in SDSS
R. Nevin, L. Blecha, J. Comerford +4
It is difficult to accurately identify galaxy mergers and it is an even larger challenge to classify them by their mass ratio or merger stage. In previous work we used a suite of s…
A Catalog of 71 Coronal Line Galaxies in MaNGA: [NeV] is an Effective AGN Tracer
James Negus, Julia M. Comerford, Francisco Muller Sanchez +5
Despite the importance of AGN in galaxy evolution, accurate AGN identification is often challenging, as common AGN diagnostics can be confused by contributions from star formation…
