Investigating the Effect of Galaxy Interactions on the Enhancement of Active Galactic
Nuclei at 0.5Galaxy interactions and mergers are thought to play an important role in the evolution of galaxies. Studies in the nearby universe show a higher fraction of active galactic nuclei(AGNs)in interacting and merging galaxies than in their isolated counterparts, indicating that such interactions are important contributors to black hole growth. To investigate the evolution of this role at higher redshifts, we have compiled the largest known sample of major spectroscopic galaxy pairs(2381 withΔV<5000 km s−1)at 0.5
