    • The insignificance of major mergers in driving star formation at z ≃ 2 

      Kaviraj, S.; Silk, J.; Cohen, S.; Windhorst, R.A.; Rutkowski, M.; O'Connell, R.W.; Dopita, M.A.; Dekel, A.; Hathi, N.P.; Straughn, A. (2013-02-01)
      We study the significance of major-merger-driven star formation in the early Universe, by quantifying the contribution of this process to the total star formation budget in 80 massive (M* > 1010 M) galaxies at z ≃ 2. ...

      Martin, G.; Bazkiaei, A. E.; Spavone, M.; Iodice, E.; Mihos, J. C.; Montes, M.; Benavides, J. A.; Brough, S.; Carlin, J. L.; Collins, C. A.; Duc, P. A.; Gómez, F. A.; Galaz, G.; Hernández-Toledo, H. M.; Jackson, R. A.; Kaviraj, S.; Knapen, J. H.; Martínez-Lombilla, C.; McGee, S.; O'Ryan, D.; Prole, D. J.; Rich, R. M.; Román, J.; Shah, E. A.; Starkenburg, T. K.; Watkins, A. E.; Zaritsky, D.; Laigle, C.; Pichon, C.; Armus, L.; Bianconi, M.; Buitrago, F.; Busá, I.; Davis, F.; Demarco, R.; Desmons, A.; García, P.; Graham, A. W.; Holwerda, B.; Hon, D. S. -H.; Khalid, A.; Klehammer, J.; Klutse, D. Y.; Lazar, I.; Nair, P.; Noakes-Kettel, E. A.; Rutkowski, M.; Saha, K.; Sahu, N.; Sola, E.; Vázquez-Mata, J. A.; Vera-Casanova, A.; Yoon, I. (2022-06-01)
      Tidal features in the outskirts of galaxies yield unique information about their past interactions and are a key prediction of the hierarchical structure formation paradigm. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is poised to deliver ...

    • The role of major mergers in the size growth of intermediate-mass spheroids 

      Kaviraj, S.; Huertas-Company, M.; Cohen, S.; Peirani, S.; Windhorst, R. A.; O'Connell, R. W.; Silk, J.; Dopita, M. A.; Hathi, N. P.; Koekemoer, A. M.; Mei, S.; Rutkowski, M.; Ryan, R. E.; Shankar, F. (2014-09-11)
      We study of the role of ‘major’ mergers (mass ratios >1: 4) in driving size growth in high-redshift (1 < z < 2) spheroidal galaxies (SGs) with stellar masses between 109.5 and 1010.7 M⊙. This is a largely unexplored mass ...
