A Multiwavelength Study of Active Galactic Nuclei in Post-merger Remnants

We investigate the role of galaxy mergers in triggering active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the nearby universe. Our analysis is based on a sample of 79 post-merger remnant galaxies with deep X-ray observations from Chandra/XMM-Newton capable of detecting a low-luminosity AGN of ≥10 ^40.5 erg s ^−1 . Th...
