ISOLATED EARLY-TYPE GALAXIES AND THE USE OF X-RAY DIAGNOSTICS TO DETERMINE THE EVOLUTION HISTORY OF MERGING AND MERGED SYSTEMS
The dissertation presented details the search for isolated early-type galaxies (IEG). A strict set of isolation criteria were employed, requiring the candidate galaxy to be separated from nearest neighbors of M < 16.5 by a distance of 2.5 Mpc and a redshift-space separation of 350 km/s. Such extr...
