Herschel views on ultra-luminous X-ray sources [PDF]
, 2012 The nature of ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs), which are off-nuclear extragalactic X-ray sources that exceed the Eddington luminosity for a stellar-mass black hole, is still largely unknown.

Hidden Quasars in Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1999 Many ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) are powered by quasars hidden in the center, but many are also powered by starbursts. A simply diagnostic diagram is proposed that can identify obscured quasars in ULIRGs by their high-ionization emission lines ([O III]λ5007/Hβ ≳ 5), and “warm” IR color (f25/f60≳ 0.25).

The Cosmic History of Black Hole Growth from Deep Multiwavelength Surveys
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Significant progress has been made in the last few years on understanding how supermassive black holes form and grow. In this paper, we begin by reviewing the spectral signatures of active galactic nuclei (AGN) ranging from radio to hard X‐ray wavelengths.

Structural and Morphological Properties of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies at 1 < z < 3
Open Astronomy, 2015 Using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) near-infrared high-resolution imaging from the 3D-HST survey, we analyze the morphology and structure of 502 ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs; LIR > 1012L⊙) at 1 < z < 3. Their rest-

Resolved CO(1-0) Nuclei in IRAS 14348-1447: Evidence for Massive Bulge Progenitors to Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies [PDF]
, 1999 High-resolution, CO(1-0) interferometry of the ultraluminous infrared galaxy IRAS 14348-1447 is presented. The merger system has a molecular gas mass of \~3x10^10 solar masses and a projected nuclear separation of 4.8 kpc (3.5"), making it one of the ...

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.

The Circumnuclear Environment of IRAS 20551‐4250: A Case Study of AGN/Starburst Connection for JWST
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 We present a general review of the current knowledge of IRAS 20551‐4250 and its circumnuclear environment. This Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxy is one of the most puzzling sources of its class in the nearby Universe: the near‐IR spectrum is typical of a galaxy experiencing a very intense starburst, but a highly obscured active nucleus is identified ...
