A consistent measure of the merger histories of massive galaxies using close-pair statistics I: Major mergers at z < 3:5

We use a large sample of ∼350,000 galaxies constructed by combining the UKIDSS UDS, VIDEO/CFHT-LS, UltraVISTA/COSMOS and GAMA survey regions to probe the major merging histories of massive galaxies (>1010 M⊙) at 0.005<z<3.5. We use a method adapted from that presented in Lopez-Sanjuan et al...
