Decision tree for both the isolated SB and post-merger sample, with SDSS gri-images provided as examples for each classification. 1034 interacting galaxies from the Patton et al. (2016) pair catalog (based on cuts in projected separation (rp) and velocity difference (Δv)), and 551 visually identified interacting galaxies, are removed entirely from the analysis. The 400 post-merger galaxies which are visually identified are also removed from the pool of control spaxels used to compute ΔΣSFR. Only isolated galaxies are used in the ΔΣSFR calculation. Of the 400 post-merger galaxies, 206 have ΔSFR> 0 dex to be considered for this study of SBs, and a further 56 are removed for not having five or more viable isolated SB controls.
