We use the first 100 deg2 of overlap between the Kilo-Degree Survey and the Galaxy And Mass Assembly survey to determine the average galaxy halo mass of ∼10 000 spectroscopically confirmed satellite galaxies in massive (M > 1013 h−1 M⊙) galaxy groups...

Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): the effect of close interactions on star formation in galaxies (2015)
Journal Article

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 452(1), 616-636. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv1241

The modification of star formation (SF) in galaxy interactions is a complex process, with SF observed to be both enhanced in major mergers and suppressed in minor pair interactions. Such changes likely to arise on short time-scales and be directly re... Read More about Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): the effect of close interactions on star formation in galaxies.

We demonstrate how the properties of a galaxy depend on the mass of its host dark matter subhalo, using two independent models of galaxy formation. For the cases of stellar mass and black hole mass, the median property value displays a monotonic depe...
