1.25 MM observations of luminous infrared galaxies [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1992 Measurements at a wavelength of 1.25 mm have been obtained for 17 IRAS galaxies selected on the basis of high far-infrared luminosity. These measurements are used to estimate the lower and upper limits to the mass of cold dust in infrared galaxies. As a lower limit on dust mass, all of the galaxies can be successfully modeled without invoking any dust ...

Optically faint counterparts to the ISO-FIRBACK 170 micron population: the discovery of cold, luminous galaxies at high redshift [PDF]
, 2002 We present Keck spectroscopy and UKIRT near-IR imaging observations of two 170micron-selected sources from the ISO-FIRBACK survey which have faint counterparts in the optical, and r-K~5. Both sources were expected to lie at z>1 based on their far-infrared, submillimeter and radio fluxes, assuming a similar spectral energy distribution to the local ...

A Spitzer Study of Interacting Luminous and Ultra-Luminous Infrared Galaxies [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2012 We conducted a Spitzer Space Telescope survey of 28 Luminous (11 < log(LIR/L_odot) < 12, LIRGs) and Ultra-Luminous Infrared Galaxies (log(LIR/L_odot) > 12, ULIRGs). Many of these galaxies are found in pairs or associations and are powered by either nuclear activity or starformation (Sanders & Mirabel 1996).

NICMOS Observations of Interaction Triggered Star Formation in the Luminous Infrared Galaxy NGC 6090 [PDF]
, 1999 High resolution, 1.1, 1.6, and 2.2 micron imaging of the luminous infrared galaxy NGC 6090 obtained with NICMOS of the Hubble Space Telescope are presented. These new observations are centered on the two nuclei of the merger, and reveal the spiral structure of the eastern galaxy and the amorphous nature of the western galaxy.

Near-Infrared and Millimeter Constraints on the Nuclear Energy Source of the Infrared-luminous Galaxy NGC 4418 [PDF]
, 2004 We present near-infrared and millimeter investigations of the nucleus of the infrared luminous galaxy NGC 4418, which previous observations suggest possesses a powerful buried AGN.

Mid-Infrared Images of Luminous Infrared Galaxies in a Merging Sequence [PDF]
ApJ Letters, 511, L17-L20 (1999, Jan. 20), 1998 We report mid-infrared observations of several luminous infrared galaxies (LIGs) carried out with the Infrared Space Observatory. Our sample was chosen to represent different phases of a merger sequence of galaxy-galaxy interaction with special emphasis on early/intermediate stages of merging.
