Spectroscopy of Luminous Infrared Galaxies [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1999 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 ...

Evolution of the ISM in luminous infrared galaxies [PDF]
Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2010 Molecules that trace the high-density regions of the interstellar medium may be used to evaluate the changing physical and chemical environment during the ongoing nuclear activity in (Ultra-)Luminous Infrared Galaxies. The changing ratios of the HCN(1-0), HNC(1-0), HCO+(1-0), CN(1-0) and CN(2-1), and CS(3-2) transitions were compared with the HCN(1-0 ...

The star formation history of luminous infrared galaxies [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2006 We constrain the past star formation histories of a sample of 25 distant (z~0.7) luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) detected with the mid infrared cameras ISOCAM and MIPS onboard the ISO and Spitzer satellites. We use high resolution VLT-FORS2 spectroscopy in addition to a comprehensive library of 200,000 model optical spectra to derive Bayesian ...

Energetic nuclear transients in luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2022 Energetic nuclear outbursts have been discovered in luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies (U/LIRGs) at unexpectedly high rates. To investigate this population of transients, we performed a search in mid-IR data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) satellite and its NEOWISE survey to detect and characterise luminous and smoothly ...

A Large Mass of H2 in the Brightest Cluster Galaxy in Zwicky 3146 [PDF]
, 2006 We present the Spitzer/IRS mid-infrared spectrum of the infrared-luminous (L_{IR}=4e11 L_sun) brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) in the X-ray-luminous cluster Z3146 (z=0.29).

SGAS 143845.1+145407: A Big, Cool Starburst at Redshift 0.816 [PDF]
, 2012 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 ...

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.
