The recurrent impact of the Sagittarius dwarf on the star formation history of the Milky Way

T Ruiz-Lara, C Gallart, EJ Bernard, S Cassisi - Nature Astronomy, 2020 - nature.com
Satellites orbiting disk galaxies can induce phase space features such as spirality, vertical
heating and phase-mixing in their disks. Such features have also been observed in our own …

Star clusters in evolving galaxies

F Renaud - New Astronomy Reviews, 2018 - Elsevier

galaxy evolution. Old globular clusters keep imprints of the physical conditions of their …

A definitive merger-AGN connection at z ∼ 0 with CFIS: mergers have an excess of AGN and AGN hosts are more frequently disturbed

SL Ellison, A Viswanathan, DR Patton… - Monthly Notices of …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
The question of whether galaxy mergers are linked to the triggering of active galactic nuclei
