We also present tentative evidence that mergers contribute to AGN triggering in cluster cores.

Anri put a great effort into this work!

This paper is accepted for publication in PASJ.

We find that the merger fraction increases with redshift for all environments, showing a strong radial gradient in clusters. This suggests that galaxy merger activity is enhanced both at earlier cosmic times and in dense environments, highlighting the role of groups.

Using a new non-parametric classification scheme that combines Gini-M20 and shape asymmetry, we identify 12,666 mergers from a sample of 33,320 galaxies, validating our method against GALAXY CRUISE visual classifications.

It's paper day! 🧪🔭

Our latest ApJS paper presents the second AllBRICQS catalog — 62 newly confirmed luminous quasars in the Northern Hemisphere (0.09 < z < 2.48), selected via WISE + Gaia DR3. Highlights include the most luminous FeLoBAL quasar ever found.

Our team has been carrying out the commissioning of the 7DT. It is quite a struggle, to be honest. Hopefully, we will get where we want to be sooner than later. Meanwhile, a pretty picture.🧪🔭
