Top: median fraction of the mass at z = 0 acquired by mergers due to major mergers for galaxies with fmerg > 0.4. The red and blue lines use stellar mass ratios between 1:1 and respectively 1:3 and 1:5 to define major mergers. The error bars are bootstrap estimates of the uncertainties of the mean fractions. Bottom: geometric mean mass ratio of mergers for galaxies with fmerg > 0.4 at z = 0. The error bars are bootstrap estimates of the uncertainties of the geometric mean ratios. The red and blue horizontal lines respectively represent the 1:3 and 1:5 limits of major mergers.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
