Minor galaxy interactions: Star formation rates and galaxy properties

DF Woods, MJ Geller - The Astronomical Journal, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
We study star formation in a sample of 1204 galaxies in minor (≥ 2) pair and compact
groups, drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5. We analyze an analogous …

The host-galaxy properties of type 1 versus type 2 active galactic nuclei

F Zou, G Yang, WN Brandt, Y Xue - The Astrophysical Journal, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
The unified model of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) proposes that different AGN optical
spectral types are caused by different viewing angles with respect to an obscuring" torus." …

XXL-HSC: Link between AGN activity and star formation in the early Universe (z⩾ 3.5)

E Pouliasis, G Mountrichas, I Georgantopoulos… - Astronomy & …, 2022 - aanda.org
In this work, our aim is to investigate the star formation rate (SFR) of the host galaxies of
