Abstract:
GEMS and GOODS fields were examined to z∼1.4 for galaxy interactions
and mergers. The basic morphologies are familiar: antennae with long
tidal tails, tidal dwarfs, and merged cores; M51-type galaxies with
disk spirals and tidal arm companions; early-type galaxies with
diffuse plumes; equal-mass grazing collisions; and thick J-shaped
tails beaded with star formation and double cores. One type is not
common locally and is apparently a loose assemblage of smaller
galaxies. Photometric measurements were made of the tails and clumps,
and physical sizes were determined assuming photometric redshifts.
Description:
The GOODS and GEMS images from the public archive were used for this
study. They include exposures in four filters for GOODS: F435W (B435),
F606W (V606), F775W (i775), and F850LP (z850); and two filters (V606
and z850) for GEMS.
