What powers luminous infrared galaxies?

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 1996
Based on the initial data sets taken with the ISO short wavelength spectrometer (SWS) we present a first discussion of the source of luminosity of (ultra-)luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs). By comparison of observations of 2.5-45 mu m lines to classical starbursts and active galactic nuclei and by modelling of the line emission we show that three key

Starburst and AGN activity in ultraluminous infrared galaxies

open access: yes, 2003
(Abridged) We examine the power source of 41 local Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies using archival infrared and optical photometry. We fit the observed Spectral Energy Distributions (SEDs) with starburst and AGN components; each component being drawn from

Mid-Infrared Colors of Dwarf Galaxies: Young Starbursts Mimicking Active Galactic Nuclei

open access: yes, 2016
Searching for active galactic nuclei (AGN) in dwarf galaxies is important for our understanding of the seed black holes that formed in the early Universe. Here, we test infrared selection methods for AGN activity at low galaxy masses.

JADES: Resolving the Stellar Component and Filamentary Overdense Environment of Hubble Space Telescope (HST)-dark Submillimeter Galaxy HDF850.1 at z = 5.18

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
HDF850.1 is the brightest submillimeter galaxy (SMG) in the Hubble Deep Field. It is known as a heavily dust-obscured star-forming galaxy embedded in an overdense environment at z = 5.18.

An ALMA Spectroscopic Survey of the Brightest Submillimeter Galaxies in the SCUBA-2-COSMOS Field (AS2COSPEC): Physical Properties of z = 2–5 Ultra- and Hyperluminous Infrared Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We report the physical properties of the 18 brightest ( S _870 _μ _m = 12.4–19.2 mJy) and not strongly lensed 870 μ m–selected dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs), also known as submillimeter galaxies (SMGs), in the COSMOS field.

CO excitation in four IR luminous galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes
The correlation between the CO and far infrared luminosities of spiral galaxies is well established. The luminosity ration, L sub FIR/L sub CO in IR luminous active galaxies is, however, systematically five to ten times higher than in ordinary spirals ...

Possibility of Using 3.3 μm Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Luminosity as a Molecular Gas Mass Estimator

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present CO(1–0) observations of 50 star-forming galaxies at 0.01 < z < 0.35, for which 3.3 μ m polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission flux or its upper limit is available.
