Constraining the Evolution of Galaxies over the Interaction Sequence with Multiwavelength Observations and Simulations

Interactions are crucial for galaxy formation and profoundly affect their evolution. However, our understanding of the impact of interactions on star formation and activity of the central supermassive black hole remains incomplete. In the canonical picture of the interaction process, these processes...
