Luminous Infrared Starbursts in a Cluster of Galaxies [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2004 Analysing mid--infrared ISOCAM images of the cluster of galaxies J1888.16CL, we identified among its members several particularly active galaxies with total infrared luminosities well above 10^{11} Lsun. If powered by dust enshrouded starbursts, as suggested by their optical spectra, these Luminous Infrared Galaxies would exhibit star formation rates ...

NICMOS Imaging of Infrared-Luminous Galaxies [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2000 We present near-infrared images obtained with the HST NICMOS camera for a sample of 9 luminous (LIGs: L_IR (8-1000 microns) >~ 10^11 L_sun) and 15 ultra-luminous (ULIGS: L_IR >~ 10^12 L_sun) infrared galaxies.

The Structure of IR Luminous Galaxies at 100 Microns [PDF]
Astrophys.J.Suppl. 131 (2000) 413-440, 2000 We have observed twenty two galaxies at 100 microns with the Kuiper Airborne Observatory in order to determine the size of their FIR emitting regions. Most of these galaxies are luminous far-infrared sources, with L_FIR > 10^11 L_sun. This data constitutes the highest spatial resolution ever achieved on luminous galaxies in the far infrared.

Morphological classification of local luminous infrared galaxies [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2016 We present analysis of the morphological classification of 89 luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) from the Great Observatories All-sky LIRG Survey (GOALS) sample, using non-parametric coefficients and compare their morphology as a function of wavelength ...

A Catalog of Luminous Infrared Galaxies in the IRAS Survey and the Second Data Release of the SDSS [PDF]
Chin.J.Astron.Astrophys.6:197-209,2006, 2005 We select the Luminous Infrared Galaxies by cross-correlating the Faint Source Catalogue (FSC) and Point Source Catalogue (PSC) of the IRAS Survey with the Second Data Release of the SDSS for studying their infrared and optical properties. The total number of our sample is 1267 for FSC and 427 for PSC by using 2$\sigma$ significance level cross-section.

Luminous infrared galaxies as plausible gamma-ray sources for GLAST and IACTs [PDF]
Astrophys.J. 607 (2004) L99-L102, 2004 We argue that luminous infrared galaxies (LIGs) may constitute a newly detectable population of gamma-ray sources for the next generation of ground and space-based high energy telescopes. Additionally, we report for the first time upper limits on their fluxes using data obtained with the EGRET telescope.

Optically faint counterparts to the ISO-FIRBACK 170 micron population: the discovery of cold, luminous galaxies at high redshift [PDF]
, 2002 We present Keck spectroscopy and UKIRT near-IR imaging observations of two 170micron-selected sources from the ISO-FIRBACK survey which have faint counterparts in the optical, and r-K~5. Both sources were expected to lie at z>1 based on their far-infrared, submillimeter and radio fluxes, assuming a similar spectral energy distribution to the local ...

1.25 MM observations of luminous infrared galaxies [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1992 Measurements at a wavelength of 1.25 mm have been obtained for 17 IRAS galaxies selected on the basis of high far-infrared luminosity. These measurements are used to estimate the lower and upper limits to the mass of cold dust in infrared galaxies. As a lower limit on dust mass, all of the galaxies can be successfully modeled without invoking any dust ...

A Spitzer Study of Interacting Luminous and Ultra-Luminous Infrared Galaxies [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2012 We conducted a Spitzer Space Telescope survey of 28 Luminous (11 < log(LIR/L_odot) < 12, LIRGs) and Ultra-Luminous Infrared Galaxies (log(LIR/L_odot) > 12, ULIRGs). Many of these galaxies are found in pairs or associations and are powered by either nuclear activity or starformation (Sanders & Mirabel 1996).

Warm Molecular Hydrogen in Nearby, Luminous Infrared Galaxies [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2018 Mid-infrared molecular hydrogen (H2) emission is a powerful cooling agent in galaxy mergers and in radio galaxies; it is a potential key tracer of gas evolution and energy dissipation associated with mergers, star formation, and accretion onto ...
