Top panel: Distribution of the asymmetry statistics (A in CAS) in our sample. The statistics show a clear systematic separation around value A = 0.23. Maintaining a merger fraction of ≈10%, we obtained the vertical red line A = 0.332 that separates 44% of mergers and 93% of nonmergers, with only a minor offset from the boundary line of A = 0.35 introduced by Conselice (2003). Bottom three panels: Multinode, intensity, and deviation (MID) statistics. They reveal systematic differences in distributions between visually classified mergers and nonmergers, as expected, given their design to capture morphological features of disturbed systems.
