Cold gas and star formation in a merging galaxy sequence
conference contribution
posted on 2024-07-13, 00:23 authored by Antonis E. Georgakakis, Duncan ForbesDuncan Forbes, Ray P. NorrisThe evolution of the cold gas and the star-formation activity during galaxy interactions is explored using a merging galaxy sequence comprising both pre- and post-merger candidates. The evolutionary properties of the interacting systems in the present sample are compared with those of isolated spirals and evolved ellipticals to explore their consistency with the 'merger hypothesis' for the formation of elliptical galaxies.
