The lives of galaxies and their supermassive black holes (SMBH) are probably intimately linked. Although mergers are considered a promising triggering mechanism for AGN activity, numerous studies have shown that AGN hosts are no more likely to appear morphologically disturbed than inactive galaxies. To study the AGN-Merger connection, i.e., merger activity in AGNs and AGN activity in merging systems, we run a suite of high resolution zoom-in cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. These simulations are post-processed with a radiative transfer code to generate HST mock observations of redshift 0.5
