Star formation and AGN activity in a sample of local luminous infrared galaxies through multiwavelength characterization [PDF]
, 2017 Nuclear starbursts and AGN activity are the main heating processes in luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) and their relationship is fundamental to understand galaxy evolution.

GOALS-JWST: Unveiling Dusty Compact Sources in the Merging Galaxy IIZw096
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022 We have used the Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI) on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to obtain the first spatially resolved, mid-infrared images of IIZw096, a merging luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG) at z = 0.036.

Cold Molecular Gas Along the Merger Sequence in Local Luminous Infrared Galaxies [PDF]
, 2017 We present an initial result from the 12CO (J = 1–0) survey of 79 galaxies in 62 local luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxy (LIRG and ULIRG) systems obtained using the 45 m telescope at the Nobeyama Radio Observatory. This is a systematic 12CO (J =

Luminous and Obscured Quasars and Their Host Galaxies
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2018 The most heavily-obscured, luminous quasars might represent a specific phase of the evolution of the actively accreting supermassive black holes and their host galaxies, possibly related to mergers.

Total molecular gas masses of Planck - Herschel selected strongly lensed hyper luminous infrared galaxies [PDF]
, 2017 We report the detection of CO(1 - 0) line emission from seven Planck and Herschel selected hyper luminous (LIR(8-1000um) > 10^13Lsun) infrared galaxies with the Green Bank Telescope (GBT).

The Structure of IR Luminous Galaxies at 100 Microns [PDF]
, 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.
