We use a highly complete subset of the Galaxy And Mass Assembly II (GAMA-II) redshift sample to fully describe the stellar mass dependence of close pairs and mergers between 10⁸ and 10¹² Mʘ. Using the analytic form of this fit we investigate the tota... Read More about Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): galaxy close pairs, mergers and the future fate of stellar mass.
