A Multiwavelength Study of Active Galactic Nuclei in Post-Merger Remnants

Abstract: We investigate the role of galaxy mergers in triggering AGN in the nearby Universe. Our analysis is based on a sample of 79 post-merger remnant galaxies with deep X-ray observations from Chandra/XMM-Newton capable of detecting a low-luminosity AGN of ≥ 10 40.5 erg s −1 . This sample is derived from a visually classified, volume-limited sample of 807 post-mergers identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 14 with log M * /M ≥ 10.5 and 0.02 ≤z≤ 0.06. We find the X-ray AGN fraction in this sample is … Show more
