Morphological classification of local luminous infrared galaxies [PDF]

Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2016
We present an 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.

Mid-Infrared Spectral Diagnostics of Luminous Infrared Galaxies [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2010
We present a statistical analysis of the mid-infrared (MIR) spectra of 248 luminous infrared (IR) galaxies (LIRGs) which comprise the Great Observatories All-sky LIRG Survey (GOALS) observed with the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) on-board the Spitzer Space

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).

AKARI Near-Infrared Spectroscopy of Luminous Infrared Galaxies [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2012
We present the AKARI near-infrared (NIR; 2.5-5 micron) spectroscopic study of 36 (ultra)luminous infrared galaxies [(U)LIRGs] at z=0.01-0.4. We measure the NIR spectral features including the strengths of 3.3 micron polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH ...

Dynamical Masses in Luminous Infrared Galaxies [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2006
We have studied the dynamics and masses of a sample of ten nearby luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies (LIRGS and ULIRGs), using 2.3 micron CO absorption line spectroscopy and near-infrared H- and Ks-band imaging.

NICMOS Imaging of Infrared-Luminous Galaxies [PDF]

The Astronomical Journal, 1999
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.

Evolution of the ISM in luminous infrared galaxies [PDF]

Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2010
Aims. Molecules that trace the high-density regions of the interstellar medium may be used to evaluate the changing physical and chemical environment during the ongoing nuclear activity in (ultra-) luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs).Methods. The changing ratios of the HCN (1-0), HNC (1-0), HCO(+) (1-0), CN (1-0) and CN (2-1), and CS (3-2) transitions ...

Arp 302: Non-starburst Luminous Infrared Galaxies [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 1996
Arp 302, a luminous infrared source (L_{IR} = 4.2x10^{11} Lsun), consisting of two spiral galaxies (VV340A and VV340B) with nuclear separation of 40'', has the highest CO luminosity known.

Evolution of Very Luminous Infrared Galaxies [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1999
We have completed spectroscopic observations (Wu et al. 1997a) of a sample of 73 very luminous infrared galaxies (log(LIR/L⊙) ≥ 11.5;H0 = 50 km s−1 Mpc−1) from the 2-Jy catalogue (Strauss et al. 1992) using the 2.16m telescope at the Beijing Astronomical Observatory. Spectral and interacting classifications are performed for the sample (Wu et al. 1997b)
