Abstract | Gravitational interactions between galaxies are widely believed to be the principal mechanism responsible for triggering non-thermal activity in galactic nuclei. We investigate the connection between interacting galaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the local universe by comparing the clustering properties of their environments on 0.5 Mpc scales, as quantified by the amplitude of the spatial cross-correlation ... |
