We study star formation in a sample of 1204 galaxies in minor (| \Delta m_z | \geq 2) pairs and compact groups, drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5 (SDSS DR5). We analyze an analogous sample of 2409 galaxies in major (|…
(Abbreviated) We present an imaging survey of 37 nearby galaxies observed with HST/WFPC2 in the mid-UV F300W filter and in F814W. 11 galaxies were also imaged in F255W. These galaxies were selected to be detectable with WFPC2 in one orbit,…
We study galaxy pairs in the field selected from the 100 K public release of the 2dF galaxy redshift survey. Our analysis provides a well defined sample of 1258 galaxy pairs, a large database suitable for statistical studies of galaxy…
We present measurements of morphological parameters from fitting 53,885 galaxies detected to a magnitude limit of F356W$< 28.5$ in the CEERS NIRCam imaging with galfit in six broadband filters: F115W, F150W, F200W, F277W, F356W, and F444W.…
We conduct a comparison of the merging galaxy populations detected by a sample of visual identification of tidal features around galaxies as well as spectroscopically-detected close pairs of galaxies to determine whether our method of…
We present a study of the morphology of star formation and the associated nuclear activity in a sample of 8 closely interacting southern galaxies, which are in different stages of interaction, starting with nearly merged nuclei that have…
We present measurements of the two-point galaxy angular correlation function w(\theta) in the COSMOS field. Independent determinations of w(\theta) as a function of magnitude limit are presented for both the HST ACS catalog and also for the…
By combining the 0.12 square degree F814W Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and Spitzer MIPS 24 micron imaging in the First Look Survey (FLS), we investigate the properties of interacting and merging Mid-Infrared bright and faint sources at 0.2<…
We present the results of an analysis of stellar clusters in the interacting galaxy, M51, using HST-WFPC2 observations. The observations were made in five broad band filters; f336w (U), f439w (B), f555w (V), f675w (R), f814w (I). By…
We present measurements of the angular two-point galaxy correlation function, $w(theta)$, from the APM Galaxy Survey. The performance of various estimators of $w$ is assessed using simulated galaxy catalogues and analytic arguments. Several…
We investigate redshift evolution in the galaxy merger and accretion rates, using a well-defined sample of 4184 galaxies with 0.12 < z < 0.55 and R_C < 21.5. We identify 88 galaxies in close (5 < r_p < 20 h^{-1} kpc) dynamical (delta v <…
We present initial results of a program to obtain and analyze HST WFPC2 images of galaxies identified in an imaging and spectroscopic survey of faint galaxies in fields of HST spectroscopic target QSOs. We measure properties of 87 galaxies,…
We combine data from the extremely deep Hubble Space Telescope $U$ (F300W) image obtained using WFPC2 as part of the parallel observations of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field campaign, with $BVi$ images from the Great Observatories Origins Deep…
HST-WFPC2 F555W and F814W photometry were obtained for 16 fields of the luminous nearby spiral galaxy M31, sampling the stellar content of the disk and the halo at different distances from the center, from ~ 20 to ~ 150 arcmin (i.e. ~ 4.5…
We present a catalog of morphological and color data for galaxies with $I < 25$ mag in the {\em Hubble Deep Field} (Williams et al. 1996). Galaxies have been inspected and (when possible) independently visually classified on the MDS and DDO…
The number of close pairs of galaxies observed to faint magnitude limits, when compared to nearby samples, determines the interaction or merger rate as a function of redshift. The prevalence of mergers at intermediate redshifts is…
[Abridged] We present the results of the HST B-Band Parallel Survey (BBPS). It covers 0.0370 sq. deg. and consists of 31 shallow (4-6 orbit), randomly selected high latitude HST WFPC2 parallel fields with images taken in both the B (F450W)…
We measure the fraction of galaxy-galaxy mergers in two clusters at $z\sim2$ using imaging and grism observations from the {\it Hubble Space Telescope}. The two galaxy cluster candidates were originally identified as overdensities of…
We investigate the angular correlation function, omega(theta), and third and fourth-order hierarchical moments of a survey with approx. 70000 faint galaxies detected on a total area 1.74 sq. deg. to a limit of R=23.5. The omega(theta)…
We present HST WFPC2 observations, supplemented by ground-based H-alpha data, of the star-cluster populations in two pairs of interacting galaxies, selected for being in very different kinds of encounters seen at different stages. Dynamical…
