Spectroscopic Constraints on the Mid-infrared Attenuation Curve. I. Attenuation Model Using Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Emission

The Astrophysical Journal
We introduce a novel model to spectroscopically constrain the mid-infrared (MIR) extinction/attenuation curve from 3–17 μ m, using polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission drawn from an AKARI–Spitzer extragalactic cross-archival data set. Currently

Infrared emission from z ∼ 6.5 quasar host galaxies: a direct estimate of dust physical properties

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Quasars at the dawn of cosmic time (z > 6) are fundamental probes for investigating the early coevolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxy.

Measuring the Interstellar Medium Content of Nearby, Luminous, Type 1 and Type 2 QSOs through CO and [C ii]

The Astrophysical Journal
We present observations of CO(1–0) and CO(2–1) lines from the Institut de radioastronomie millimétrique 30 m telescope toward 20 nearby, optically luminous type 2 quasars (QSO2s) and observations of the [C ii ] 158 μ m line from the Stratospheric ...

MAMMOTH-Subaru. II. Diverse Populations of Circumgalactic Lyα Nebulae at Cosmic Noon

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Circumgalactic Ly α nebulae are gaseous halos around galaxies exhibiting luminous extended Ly α emission. This work investigates Ly α nebulae from deep imaging of ∼12 deg ^2 sky, targeted by the MAMMOTH-Subaru survey.

Extended Star Formation in Luminous Infrared Galaxies at z ∼ 1 in the SMILES Field

The Astrophysical Journal
Luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) and ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) in the local Universe are highly centrally concentrated in the mid-infrared (MIR) and substantially more likely than non-(U)LIRGs to be involved in mergers.

Characterising Nearby Luminous Infrared Galaxies

, 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 ...

Identification of luminous infrared galaxies at 1

, 2016
We present preliminary results on 24micron detections of luminous infrared galaxies at z>1 with the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS). Observations were performed in the Lockman Hole and the Extended Groth Strip (EGS), and were supplemented by data obtained with the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) between 3 and 9microns.

PEARLS: Discovery of Point-source Features within Galaxies in the North Ecliptic Pole Time Domain Field

The Astrophysical Journal
The first public 0.9–4.4 μ m NIRCam images of the North Ecliptic Pole Time Domain Field uncovered galaxies displaying point-source features in their cores as seen in the longer-wavelength filters. We visually identified a sample of 66 galaxies (∼1 galaxy

Calibrating Mid-infrared Emission Features as Diagnostics of Star Formation in Infrared-luminous Galaxies via Radiative Transfer Modeling

The Astrophysical Journal
Luminous infrared (IR) galaxies are key sites of obscured stellar mass assembly at z > 0.5. Their star formation rates (SFRs) are often estimated using the luminosities of the 6.2 and 11.2 μ m polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) features or those of ...

What powers luminous infrared galaxies?

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 1996
Based on the initial data sets taken with the ISO short wavelength spectrometer (SWS) we present a first discussion of the source of luminosity of (ultra-)luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs). By comparison of observations of 2.5-45 mu m lines to classical starbursts and active galactic nuclei and by modelling of the line emission we show that three key
