\section{Method}
I In this thesis we will use large-area optical and radio surveys (SDSS and FIRST)
are used to systematically measure the enhanced radio emission in merging galaxies in the low redshift Universe
(z ($z <
0.4). 0.4$). Through the use of statistical techniques on a catalogue of all the optically-selected SDSS quasar pairs for which there is a radio detection (in FIRST) within 3 arc seconds (which is roughly half the angular resolution of the radio maps in
FIRST), I will make aggregated radio detections of the population of galaxy mergers that do not have individual radio detections. This is done because existing radio surveys are not as sensitive as their optical/IR counterparts. FIRST). The statistically
analysed analyzed data will be combined with a sample of "post-merger" (clearly disrupted, but individual) galaxies with the aim of investigating the nature of this enhanced emission as a function of galaxy separation.
The sample of “post-merger” galaxies lists the optically-selected SDSS quasar pairs that
aren't are not detected in the FIRST radio maps. In other words, for these pairs, no radio source was detected within 3 arc seconds of the optical position. As non-radio-detected SDSS quasar pair images are stacked up (add) the radio maps of the non-detections later on and get a statistical radio detection. We aim to observe and
analyse analyze these detections.
