Galaxy evolution in the post-merger regime. III -- The triggering of active galactic nuclei peaks immediately after coalescence by Sara Ellison, Leonardo Ferreira, Robert Bickley, Tess Grindlay, Samir Salim, Shoshannah Byrne-Mamahit, Shobita Satyapal, David R. Patton, Jillian M. Scudder

“…Our main results are: 1) Regardless of the metric used, we find that the peak AGN excess (compared with a matched control sample) occurs immediately after coalescence, at 0 < T_PM < 0.16 Gyr. 2) The excess of AGN is observed until long after coalescence; both the mid-IR selected AGN and broad line AGN are more common than in the control sample even in the longest time bin of our sample (0.96 < T_PM < 1.76 Gyr). 3) The AGN excess is larger for more luminous and bolometrically dominant AGN, and we find that AGN in post-mergers are generally more luminous than secularly triggered events. 4) A deficit of broad line AGN in the pre-merger phase, that evolves into an excess in post-mergers is consistent with evolution of the covering fraction of nuclear obscuring material. …”
