LESS THAN 10 PERCENT OF STAR FORMATION IN z similar to 0.6 MASSIVE GALAXIES IS TRIGGERED BY MAJOR INTERACTIONS

Both observations and simulations show that major tidal interactions or mergers between gas-rich galaxies can lead to intense bursts of star formation. Yet, the average enhancement in star formation rate (SFR) in major mergers and the contribution of such events to the cosmic SFR are not well estima...
