Interaction-induced star formation boosts stellar mass assembly in $z\sim5$ galaxies

Year: 2026

Type: preprint

Abstract: Galaxy interactions are a key ingredient in galaxy evolution; not only are they a primary pathway of galaxy growth and mass assembly, but also a key driver of processes such as star formation and quenching. We investigate the impact of galaxy-galaxy interactions on stellar mass assembly using JWST/NIRCam observations of a spectroscopically selected sample of galaxies at $5.0
