galaxy mergers, day 3

Masjedi gave a great talk on his close-pair merger rate estimates and the growth of luminous red galaxies at the conference today. He is one of the few participants in the meeting who committed to very specific numbers on the merger or accretion rate, and, though there are caveats, it is a beautiful peice of work.

There was a amusing, lively, and chaotic summary session to which I contributed. I think there is a picture emerging—for the growth of red galaxies—but very few components of the picture have hard numbers on them.
