The role of mergers and interactions in driving the evolution of dwarf galaxies over cosmic time

Dwarf galaxies (M⋆ < 109 M⊙) are key drivers of mass assembly in high-mass galaxies, but relatively little is understood about the assembly of dwarf galaxies themselves. Using the NEWHORIZON cosmological simulation (∼40 pc spatial resolution), we investigate how mergers and fly-bys drive the mass...
