A Spitzer study of interacting luminous and ultra-luminous infrared galaxies [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2011 AbstractWe conducted a Spitzer Space Telescope survey of 28 Luminous (11 < log (LIR/L⊙) < 12, LIRGs) and Ultra-Luminous Infrared Galaxies (log (LIR/L⊙) > 12, ULIRGs). Many of these galaxies are found in pairs or associations and are powered by either nuclear activity or star-formation (Sanders & Mirabel 1996).

Fading AGNs in Poststarburst Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The role of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in quenching galaxies and driving the evolution from star forming to quiescence remains a key question in galaxy evolution.

The Role of AGN in Luminous Infrared Galaxies from the Multiwavelength Perspective
Universe, 2022 Galaxy mergers provide a mechanism for galaxies to effectively funnel gas and materials toward their nuclei and fuel the central starbursts and accretion of supermassive black holes.

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.

The stellar, molecular gas and dust content of the host galaxies of two z~2.8 dust obscured quasars [PDF]
, 2011 We present optical through radio observations of the host galaxies of two dust obscured, luminous quasars selected in the mid-infrared, at z=2.62 and z=2.99, including a search for CO emission.

Mid-Infrared Spectral Diagnostics of Luminous Infrared Galaxies [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2010 We present a statistical analysis of 248 luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) which comprise the Great Observatories All‐sky LIRG Survey (GOALS) observed with the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) on‐board Spitzer in the rest‐frame wavelength range between 5 and 38 μm.

GOALS-JWST: NIRCam and MIRI Imaging of the Circumnuclear Starburst Ring in NGC 7469
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) imaging of NGC 7469 with the Near-Infrared Camera and the Mid-InfraRed Instrument. NGC 7469 is a nearby, z = 0.01627, luminous infrared galaxy that hosts both a Seyfert Type-1.5 nucleus and a circumnuclear ...
