Do AGN triggering mechanisms vary with radio power? II. The importance of mergers as a function of radio power and optical luminosity

Investigation of the triggering mechanisms of radio AGN is important for improving our general understanding of galaxy evolution. In the first paper in this series, detailed morphological analysis of high-excitation radio galaxies (HERGs) with intermediate radio powers suggested that the importance...
