Galaxy merger histories and the role of merging in driving star formation at z > 1
<p>We use Horizon-AGN, a hydrodynamical cosmological simulation, to explore the role of mergers in the evolution of massive (<em>M</em><sub>*</sub> > 10<sup>10</sup> M<sub>⊙</sub>) galaxies around the epoch of peak cosmic star formation (...
