Galaxy and mass assembly (GAMA): comparing visually and spectroscopically identified galaxy merger samples
Open accessAbstract
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 selecting merging galaxies biases our understanding of galaxy interactions. Our volume-limited parent sample consists of 852 galaxies from the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey in the redshift range 0.04 ≤ z ≤ 0.20 and stellar mass range 9.50 ≤ log $_{10}(M_{\star }/\rm {M}_{\odot })\le ~11.0$. We conduct our comparison using images from the Ultradeep layer of the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC-SSP) to visually classify galaxies with tidal features and compare these to the galaxies in the GAMA spectroscopic close-pair sample. We identify 198 galaxies possessing tidal features, resulting in a tidal feature fraction ftidal = 0.23 ± 0.02. We also identify 80 galaxies involved in close pairs, resulting in a close pair fraction fpair = 0.09 ± 0.01. Upon comparison of our tidal feature and close pair samples we identify 42 galaxies that are present in both samples, yielding a fraction fboth = 0.05 ± 0.01. We find evidence to suggest that the sample of close pairs of galaxies is more likely to detect early stage mergers, where two separate galaxies are still visible, and the tidal feature sample detects later-stage mergers, where only one galaxy nucleus remains visible. The overlap of the close pair and tidal feature samples likely detect intermediate-stage mergers. Our results are in good agreement with the predictions of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations regarding the populations of merging galaxies detected by close pair and tidal feature samples.

The visually-classified dataset (from Desmons et al. 2023) is drawn from the GAMA survey, which is apparent-magnitude limited (r ≤ 19.8 mag) and has median redshift z ∼ 0.2, so galaxies from this dataset tend to be brighter and have lower redshifts as well as slightly larger apparent radii than the broader selection of unlabelled galaxies from the HSC-SSP Ultradeep regions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
