Close pairs of galaxies and merger rate evolution
New techniques are developed for relating the statistics of close galaxy pairs to the galaxy merger and accretion rates. Unlike the traditional pair fraction approach, these methods are shown to be robust to a number of selection effects related to the depth and completeness of the sample. These tec...
