Stellar and black hole assembly in<i>z</i>&amp;lt; 0.3 infrared-luminous mergers: intermittent starbursts versus super-Eddington accretion

We study stellar and black hole mass assembly in a sample of 42 infrared-luminous galaxy mergers at z<0.3 by combining results from radiative transfer modelling with archival measures of molecular gas and black hole mass. The ratios of stellar mass, molecular gas mass, and black hole mass to each other …
