Mergers and Interactions at High Redshift

Chris Mihos, Case Western Reserve University

Our view of the merging process is shaped by low redshift studies. We want to apply them to the high redshift universe to study high-z starbursts, galaxy formation and evolution, and cluster evolution. Is this straightforward?
