| Abstract: |
A provocative summary of the conference on ‘Galaxy Mergers in
an Evolving Universe’ is presented. The conference includes
the following issues; 1) Mergers at low redshift,
2) Merger dynamics and numerical simulations,
3) Mergers in galaxy evolution, 4) Mergers and active galactic
nuclei (AGNs), 5) Mergers at high redshift and submm galaxies,
6) Feedback from starbursts and AGNs, 6) Chemical evolution of
galaxies, and 7) Results from new surveys.
Although there are many important issues related to galaxy mergers
and nuclear activities in galaxies, in this summary, l
et us focus on following the question; Is there any unified
model for triggering nuclear activities? Given key
observational properties of galaxies with AGNs, a possible unified
model is discussed as an evolutionary model from starbursts to
AGNs based on minor and major mergers between/among galaxies. |
