A complete catalogue of merger fractions in AGN hosts: No evidence for an increase in detected merger fraction with AGN luminosity
Despite the importance of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in galaxy evolution, the mechanisms that fuel AGN activity remain poorly understood. Theoretical models suggest that major mergers of galaxies contribute strongly to AGN fuelling, particularly at high AGN luminosities. The connection between mer...
