Early assembly of the most massive galaxies [PDF]

, 2009
The current consensus is that galaxies begin as small density fluctuations in the early Universe and grow by in situ star formation and hierarchical merging(1).

Near-Infrared Surface Photometry of Bulges and Disks of Spiral Galaxies : The Data [PDF]

, 1997
: We present optical and near-infrared (NIR) surface brightness and colour profiles,in bands ranging from U to K, for the disk and bulge components of a complete sample of 30 nearby S0 to Sbc galaxies with inclinations larger than 50 degrees. We describe

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.

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.

Infrared galaxies

Second international workshop on particle physics and the early universe (COSMO-98), 1999
To study large-scale structure in the Universe a full census of the contents are required. This is even more important when the processes of galaxy formation are being investigated. In the last year the population of distant galaxies that emit most of their energy in the infrared waveband have been studied in unprecedented detail.

Silicates in Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal, 2008
We analyze the mid-infrared (MIR) spectra of ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) observed with the Spitzer Space Telescope's Infrared Spectrograph. Dust emission dominates the MIR spectra of ULIRGs, and the reprocessed radiation that emerges is independent of the underlying heating spectrum.

Mapping the dynamics, star-formation rates, and chemical properties of galaxies with integral field spectroscopy [PDF]

, 2005
Major advances in the development of instruments for eight and ten meter class telescopes are revolutionising our understanding of galaxy formation. In particular, Integral Field Spectrographs (which produce a three dimensional {x, y, velocity) map of a ...
