Minor-merger-induced Star Formation Rejuvenation in an Elliptical Radio-loud Quasar Host, 3C 59

Minor-merger-induced Star Formation Rejuvenation in an Elliptical Radio-loud Quasar Host, 3C 59

We report a rare case where an elliptical radio-loud quasar host, 3C 59, rejuvenates star formation activity through minor mergers with its nearby satellite galaxies. The inferred star formation history of 3C 59 has shown significant star formation rejuvenation within the past 500 Myr, before which...
