Galaxy mergers occur when two or more galaxies collide. This is the most intense type of galactic interaction. Gravitational interactions between galaxies and friction between gas and dust have significant effects on the involved galaxies. However, the exact outcomes of such mergers depend on a wide range of parameters, such as the collision angles, velocities, and relative sizes/compositions, making it a highly active area of research. Galaxy mergers are important because the merger rate is a f
