Galaxy pairs in the galaxy and mass assembly (GAMA) survey: the interplay between galaxy mass, star formation rate and the heavy elements abundance

This project is focused on the analysis of galaxy pairs since they are the minimal unit in which changes of different properties can be measured, such as star formation rate and metallicity. Data are taken from the Galaxy and Mass Assembly Survey II (GAMAII). The 2dF robot positioner of fibres solve...

Sumario:This project is focused on the analysis of galaxy pairs since they are the minimal unit in which changes of different properties can be measured, such as star formation rate and metallicity. Data are taken from the Galaxy and Mass Assembly Survey II (GAMAII). The 2dF robot positioner of fibres solved the problem of fiber collision (seen in SDSS), this makes the GAMA survey highly complete and ideal for the study of pairs and groups of galaxies. We selected galaxies at all multiplicities, with a maximum angular separation of 100 arcsec, relative velocity ∆ < 1000 km s⁻¹, S/N > 3 and a redshift interval
