Comparison of the observed fractions of AGNs (red points) and inactive galaxies (black points) that are classified as interacting/merging using the multi-feature approach, in the three fiducial redshift bins (edges shown with dotted lines). The inactive galaxy fraction is the median value from 1000 draws of a mass-matched control sample to the AGNs in that redshift bin, while the error bars show the 1σ scatter from those draws. Therefore, the AGNs have an enhancement in the observed interaction fraction over inactive galaxies at z< 1 (by ≈2σ), but are comparable to inactive galaxies at z ~ 2.
