Southern ultraluminous infrared galaxies: An optical and infrared database [PDF]
Astronomy and Astrophysics Supplement Series, 1997 We have carried out an optical and infrared study of 24 ultraluminous infrared galaxies in the southern hemisphere (SULIRGs). This flux limited, complete sample, has been extracted from the redshift survey of IRAS galaxies compiled by Strauss et al. (1992).

FAR-INFRARED FINE-STRUCTURE LINE DIAGNOSTICS OF ULTRALUMINOUS INFRARED GALAXIES [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2013 We present Herschel observations of six fine-structure lines in 25 Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies at z<0.27. The lines, [O III]52, [N III]57, [O I]63, [N II]122, [O I]145, and [C II]158, are mostly single gaussians with widths <600 km s-1 and luminosities of 10^7 - 10^9 Solar.

Search for tidal dwarf galaxy candidates in a sample of ultraluminous infrared galaxies [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2007 (ABRIDGED) Star-forming small galaxies made out of collisional debris have been found in a variety of merging systems. So far only a few of them are known in ULIRGs although they show clear signs of interactions. Whether external star formation may take place in such objects is an open question. The aim of this paper is to identify and characterise the

Investigating the central engine of ultraluminous infrared galaxies: near infrared imaging [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2002 We present 0.5-arcsec-resolution near-infrared images of six ultraluminous infrared galaxies with known redshifts. Six of the eight bright nuclei are resolved on kiloparsec scales, suggesting that there is significant circumnuclear star formation or close progenitor nuclei.

Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1999 At luminosities above ~ 1011L⊙, infrared galaxies become the dominant population of extragalactic objects in the local Universe (z < 0.5), being more numerous than optically selected starburst and Seyfert galaxies, and QSOs at comparable bolometric luminosity.

Near-Infrared Spectra of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 1999 Near infrared spectra with resolution R ~ 1100 in the rest wavelength range 1.8-2.2 microns have been obtained for a complete sample of 33 ultraluminous infrared galaxies. Of the 33 objects observed, 2 show evidence of a central AGN through either a broad Paschen-alpha line or emission in the 1.963 micron fine structure of [Si VI].

The QSO — Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies Connection [PDF]
, 2001 For the past several years, our group has pursued a vigorous ground-based program aimed at understanding the nature of ultraluminous infrared galaxies. We recently published the results from a optical/near-infrared spectroscopic survey of a large statistically complete sample of ultraluminous infrared galaxies (the "IRAS 1-Jy sample").
