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.

Characterising Nearby Luminous Infrared Galaxies

open access: yes, 2017
Luminous InfraRed Galaxies (LIRGs) in the local universe are known to be highly interacting galaxies with strong star-formation in obscured environments. LIRGs have diversity in terms of morphology and mode and location of SF, while their even more energetic counterparts, the Ultra-Luminous IR galaxies, ULIRGs, (LIR ≥ 10^12 Lsol ) are normally ...

Star formation and nuclear activity in luminous infrared galaxies: an infrared through radio review

The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2020
Nearby galaxies offer unique laboratories allowing multi-wavelength spatially resolved studies of the interstellar medium, star formation and nuclear activity across a broad range of physical conditions.

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).

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.
