Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies
The IRAS survey of the local universe (z_0.1) has revealed the existence of a class of ultraluminous infrared galaxies with L(8-1000#m) > 1012L® that are slightly more numerous, and as luminous as optically selected quasars at similar redshift. Optical CCD images of these infrared galaxies show that nearly all are advanced mergers. Millimeter-wave CO (1 _ 0) observations indicate that these int...
متن کاملUltraluminous Infrared Galaxies
Ever since their discovery in the 1970’s, UltraLuminous InfraRed Galaxies (ULIRGs; classically Lir > 10 12L⊙) have fascinated astronomers with their immense luminosities, and frustrated them due to their singularly opaque nature, almost in equal measure. Over the last decade, however, comprehensive observations from the X-ray through to the radio have produced a consensus picture of local ULIRG...
متن کاملMid Infrared Polarisation of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies ⋆
The mid infrared polarisation properties of four Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs) have been investigated by broad band filter observations with the ISOCAM instrument on board the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). The wavelength region from 5 to 18μm was selected where the emission from the putative torus peaks. We report detection of polarisation for all ULIRGs studied. The fractional p...
متن کاملNear-Infrared Spectra of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies.
Near-infrared spectra with a resolution of lambda&solm0;Deltalambda approximately 1100 in the rest-wavelength range of 1.8-2.2 µm have been obtained for a complete sample of 33 ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs). Of the 33 objects observed, two show evidence of a central active galactic nucleus (AGN) through either a broad Paschen-alpha line or emission in the 1.963 µm fine structure of [...
متن کاملThe Hosts of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies
Complete samples of ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIGs) have been imaged at R-band and K-band from Mauna Kea. Here we present a preliminary analysis of the host galaxy magnitudes and the 1-D radial profiles for a subset of objects in the IRAS 1-Jy sample of ULIGs (z < 0.3), and compare these properties with recently published data for “low-z” QSOs. ULIGs in the 1-Jy sample reside in luminou...
