Spectroscopy of Luminous Infrared Galaxies [PDF]
A review of recent optical and infrared spectroscopic results on luminous infrared galaxies is presented. The main emphasis is on the ultraluminous objects. Possible correlations with infrared luminosity are identified. These results are used to constrain the nature of the dominant energy source in luminous infrared galaxies, and to test whether these ...

Fading AGNs in Poststarburst Galaxies
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.

An ISOCAM survey through gravitationally lensing galaxy clusters. III. New results from mid-infrared observations of th e cluster Abell 2219 [PDF]
The massive cluster of galaxies Abell 2219 (z = 0.228) was observed at 14.3 $\mu$m with the Infrared Space Observatory and results were published by Barvainis et al. (1999). These observations have been reanalyzed using a method specifically designed for

Submillimeter H2O and H2O+emission in lensed ultra- and hyper-luminous infrared galaxies at z ~ 2–4 [PDF]
We report rest-frame submillimeter H2O emission line observations of 11 ultra- or hyper-luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs or HyLIRGs) at z ~ 2–4 selected among the brightest lensed galaxies discovered in the Herschel-Astrophysical Terahertz Large Area ...

The Role of AGN in Luminous Infrared Galaxies from the Multiwavelength Perspective
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.

ALMA HCN and HCO+ J=3-2 observations of optical Seyfert and luminous infrared galaxies -- Confirmation of elevated HCN-to-HCO+ flux ratios in AGNs -- [PDF]
We present the results of our ALMA observations of three AGN-dominated nuclei in optical Seyfert 1 galaxies (NGC 7469, I Zw 1, and IC 4329 A) and eleven luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) with various levels of infrared estimated energetic contributions ...

GOALS-JWST: NIRCam and MIRI Imaging of the Circumnuclear Starburst Ring in NGC 7469
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 ...

SGAS 143845.1+145407: A Big, Cool Starburst at Redshift 0.816 [PDF]
We present the discovery and a detailed multi-wavelength study of a strongly-lensed luminous infrared galaxy at z=0.816. Unlike most known lensed galaxies discovered at optical or near-infrared wavelengths this lensed source is red, r-Ks = 3.9 [AB ...

THE [N ii] 205 μm EMISSION IN LOCAL LUMINOUS INFRARED GALAXIES [PDF]
In this paper, we present the measurements of the [N ii] 205 μm line for a flux-limited sample of 122 (ultra-)luminous infrared galaxies [(U)LIRGs] and 20 additional normal galaxies, obtained with the Herschel Space Observatory (Herschel). We explore the

The Kennicutt–Schmidt Law and Gas Scale Height in Luminous and Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies [PDF]
A new analysis of high-resolution data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array for five luminous or ultraluminous infrared galaxies gives a slope for the Kennicutt–Schmidt (KS) relation equal to for gas surface densities Σmol > 103 M⊙ pc−2 ...
