Observations of luminous infrared galaxies with the Spitzer Space Telescope

open access: yesNature Astronomy, 2020
Luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies have been an active area of galaxy research since their discovery more than three decades ago. With its vast increase in sensitivity in the infrared, Spitzer played a major role in exploring these galaxies in ...

LUMINOUS INFRARED GALAXIES

Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 1996
▪ Abstract  At luminosities above 1011 [Formula: see text], infrared galaxies become the dominant population of extragalactic objects in the local Universe (z ≲ 0.3), being more numerous than optically selected starburst and Seyfert galaxies and quasi-stellar objects at comparable bolometric luminosity.

The AGN/starburst connection in luminous infrared galaxies

Advances in Space Research, 1999
Abstract One of the most exciting results of the IRAS sky survey was the discovery of luminous infrared galaxies, which emit the bulk of their radiataion in the infrared. One of the most vexing questions about luminous infrared galaxies is the relative contribution of starburst or AGN to the overall energy budget.

CO in infrared luminous galaxies

2008
There has been considerable recent interest in the properties of infrared galaxies due to the discovery by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) of a class of luminous galaxies which emit the bulk of their energy in the far-infrared (Houck et al. 1984; Soifer et al. 1984).

ISO spectroscopy of luminous infrared galaxies

Advances in Space Research, 2000
Abstract Spectroscopy from the Infrared Space Observatory ISO has for the first time provided the sensitivity to observe mid-infrared fine structure lines and PAH features in a wide range of luminous infrared galaxies. We report on observations obtained with SWS, ISOPHOT-S, and the ISOCAM CVF and show that the mid-IR spectral features are excellent ...

The Environments of Luminous Infrared Galaxies

2011
This work studies the relationship between SFR, stellar mass and environment of local IR galaxies, especially LIRGs. It is found that the L { IR} ∼ 1011 L ⊙ marks an important luminosity point among IR galaxies - the large scale density of environment around LIRGs correlates strongly with their SFR above this value at a fixed stellar mass.

SED DECOMPOSITION OF INFRARED-LUMINOUS GALAXIES

Publications of The Korean Astronomical Society, 2012
We select infrared-luminous galaxies by cross-matching the SDSS spectroscopic sample of galaxies with the WISE all-sky survey catalog. Based on photometric data points covering from SDSS u-band to WISE , their spectral energy distributions (SEDs) are separated into AGN, elliptical, spiral, and irregular galaxy components.

The Nature of Ultra-Luminous Infrared Galaxies

2000
We review investigations with SWS, ISOPHOT-S, and ISOCAM-CVF of several samples of ultra-luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) drawn from IRAS catalogs. The mid-IR data indicate that the majority of the local ULIRG population is predominantly powered by star formation but that AGN activity plays a signi.cant role in many sources and dominates the most ...
