| Abstract: |
In this contribution, I will review the latest results of our ongoing
work to study the central gas flows in merging galaxies, focusing on
triggered star formation, presence of an AGN and changes in the
gas-phase metallicity. Results from a sample of close galaxy pairs are
compared with bar driven gas inflows in order to quantify the relative
importance of hierarchical versus secular processes. |
