Exploring HI asymmetries in real and simulated galaxies

In the ΛCDM model of the Universe, galaxy-galaxy interactions and mergers are considered key drivers in their evolution. These dynamical events lead to peculiar and disturbed morphologies, which can be studied using morphometric statistics. The rotational 2D asymmetry parameter, adopted from optical...
