The Effect of Galaxy Interactions on Starbursts in Milky Way-mass Galaxies in FIRE Simulations

The Effect of Galaxy Interactions on Starbursts in Milky Way-mass Galaxies in FIRE Simulations

Simulations and observations suggest that galaxy interactions may enhance the star formation rate (SFR) in merging galaxies. One proposed mechanism is the torque exerted on the gas and stars in the larger galaxy by the smaller galaxy. We analyze the interaction torques and star formation activity on...
