Mid infrared polarisation of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2001
The mid infrared polarisation properties of four Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs) have been investigated by broad band filter observations with the ISOCAM instrument on board the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). The wavelength region from 5 to 18 mic. was selected where the emission from the putative torus peaks.

Near-Infrared Spectra of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 1999
Near infrared spectra with resolution R ~ 1100 in the rest wavelength range 1.8-2.2 microns have been obtained for a complete sample of 33 ultraluminous infrared galaxies. Of the 33 objects observed, 2 show evidence of a central AGN through either a broad Paschen-alpha line or emission in the 1.963 micron fine structure of [Si VI].

Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1999
At luminosities above ~ 1011L⊙, infrared galaxies become the dominant population of extragalactic objects in the local Universe (z < 0.5), being more numerous than optically selected starburst and Seyfert galaxies, and QSOs at comparable bolometric luminosity.

Hyperluminous infrared galaxies [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2000
39 galaxies are now known, from follow-up of faint IRAS sources and from submm observations of high redshift AGN, with far infrared luminosities > 10^{13} Lo. 13 of these, which have been found in 60 or 850 mu surveys, form an important unbiased sub-sample.

Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies [PDF]

, 2006
Ever since their discovery in the 1970's, UltraLuminous InfraRed Galaxies (ULIRGs; classically Lir>10^12Lsun) have fascinated astronomers with their immense luminosities, and frustrated them due to their singularly opaque nature, almost in equal measure.

The nature of hyperluminous infrared galaxies [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2021
Context. Hyperluminous infrared galaxies (HLIRGs) are shown to have been more abundant in early epochs. The small samples used in earlier studies are not sufficient to draw robust statistical conclusions regarding the physical properties and the power sources of these extreme infrared (IR) bright galaxies. Aims.
