NICMOS Imaging of Infrared-Luminous Galaxies [PDF]

The Astronomical Journal, 2000
We present near-infrared images obtained with the HST NICMOS camera for a sample of 9 luminous (LIGs: L_IR (8-1000 microns) >~ 10^11 L_sun) and 15 ultra-luminous (ULIGS: L_IR >~ 10^12 L_sun) infrared galaxies.

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

Astrophys.J.Suppl. 131 (2000) 413-440, 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. This data constitutes the highest spatial resolution ever achieved on luminous galaxies in the far infrared.

Optical Properties of 4248 IRAS Galaxies [PDF]

Mon.Not.Roy.Astron.Soc. 360 (2005) 322-339, 2005
We have investigated optical properties of 4248 infrared galaxies (IRGs) by positionally matching data from the IRAS and the SDSS DR3. Our sample includes 3 hyper luminous infrared galaxies (L >10^13Lsun) and 178 ultra luminous infrared galaxies (10^12Lsun < L < 10^13Lsun). Our findings are as follows: (i) more IR luminous galaxies tend to have smaller

Luminous Infrared Starbursts in a Cluster of Galaxies [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2004
Analysing mid--infrared ISOCAM images of the cluster of galaxies J1888.16CL, we identified among its members several particularly active galaxies with total infrared luminosities well above 10^{11} Lsun. If powered by dust enshrouded starbursts, as suggested by their optical spectra, these Luminous Infrared Galaxies would exhibit star formation rates ...

Adaptive Optics Discovery of Supernova 2004ip in the Nuclear Regions of the Luminous Infrared Galaxy IRAS 18293-3413 [PDF]

Astrophys.J.659:L9-L12,2007, 2007
We report a supernova discovery in Ks-band images from the NAOS CONICA adaptive optics (AO) system on the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT). The images were obtained as part of a near-infrared search for highly-obscured supernovae in the nuclear regions of luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies.

Spitzer and ISO Galaxy Counts in the Mid-Infrared [PDF]

Mon.Not.Roy.Astron.Soc. 358 (2005) 1417-1422, 2005
Galaxy source counts that simultaneously fit the deep mid-infrared surveys at 24 microns and 15 microns made by the Spitzer Space Telescope and the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) respectively are presented for two phenomenological models. The models are based on starburst and luminous infrared galaxy dominated populations.

Luminous infrared galaxies as plausible gamma-ray sources for GLAST and IACTs [PDF]

Astrophys.J. 607 (2004) L99-L102, 2004
We argue that luminous infrared galaxies (LIGs) may constitute a newly detectable population of gamma-ray sources for the next generation of ground and space-based high energy telescopes. Additionally, we report for the first time upper limits on their fluxes using data obtained with the EGRET telescope.

HI observations of luminous infrared galaxy mergers [PDF]

, 2000
A total of 19 luminous infrared galaxy mergers, with L_IR~2 10^11 L_sun for H_0=75 km/s/Mpc, have been observed in the HI line at Nancay and four of them were observed at Arecibo as well. Of these 19, ten had not been observed before. Six were clearly detected, one of which for the first time.

The Most Luminous Galaxies [PDF]

, 2002
Ultraluminous galaxies in the local universe (z$\leq$0.2) emit the bulk of their energy in the mid and far-infrared. The multiwavelength approach to these objects has shown that they are advanced mergers of gas-rich spiral galaxies. Galaxy-galaxy collisions took place on all cosmological time-scales, and nearby mergers serve as local analogs to gain ...

A Catalog of Luminous Infrared Galaxies in the IRAS Survey and the Second Data Release of the SDSS [PDF]

Chin.J.Astron.Astrophys.6:197-209,2006, 2005
We select the Luminous Infrared Galaxies by cross-correlating the Faint Source Catalogue (FSC) and Point Source Catalogue (PSC) of the IRAS Survey with the Second Data Release of the SDSS for studying their infrared and optical properties. The total number of our sample is 1267 for FSC and 427 for PSC by using 2$\sigma$ significance level cross-section.
