Merging galaxies in COSMOS to z~1

The role of major mergers in galaxy and black hole formation is not well-constrained. To help address this, we develop an automated method to identify late-stage galaxy mergers...主并合事件（major mergers）在星系与黑洞形成过程中所扮演的角色，目前尚未得到充分约束。为解决这一问题，我们开发了一种自动化方法，用于识别晚期星系并合（late-stage galaxy mergers）……
