Starburst or Seyfert? Using near-infrared spectroscopy to measure the activity in composite galaxies
We present near-infrared spectra for a sample of galaxies with ambiguous optical emission line ratios. These galaxies fall between starbursts and Seyferts in the usual optical diagnostic diagrams. We find a similar result with the near-infrared emission line ratios, which suggests that the galaxies are composite, containing both a starburst and AGN component. Furthermore, CO absorption, produce...
متن کاملOPTICAL SPECTROSCOPY OF THE IRAS 1-Jy SAMPLE OF ULTRALUMINOUS INFRARED GALAXIES
This paper discusses the optical spectroscopic properties of the IRAS 1-Jy sample (f60 > 1 Jy) of ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIGs: Lir > 10 12 L⊙; Ho = 75 km s −1 Mpc and qo = 0). One hundred and eight of the 118 1-Jy ULIGs have been observed at ∆λ = 8.3 Å resolution over the wavelength range ∼ 4500 Å – 8900 Å. These data are combined with large, previously published sets of optical spec...
متن کاملMid - infrared and optical spectroscopy of ultraluminous infrared galaxies : A comparison
New tools from Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) mid-infrared spectroscopy have recently become available to determine the power sources of dust-obscured ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs). We compare ISO classifications – starburst or active galactic nucleus (AGN) – with classifications from optical spectroscopy, and with optical/near-infrared searches for hidden broad-line regions. The a...
متن کاملNear - infrared spectroscopy of nearby Seyfert galaxies . I . First results ⋆
We present near-infrared 1.5 – 2.5 µm moderate resolution long-slit spectra of two both parallel to ionization cone or jet and perpendicular to it. The spectra are used to study the spatial extent of the line emission, integrated masses of excited H 2 and the excitation mechanisms of interstellar gas. In all three Seyfert 2 galaxies, [Fe ii] is found to be stronger than Brγ or H 2 1–0 S(1), whi...
متن کاملThe Distribution of Silicate Strength in Spitzer Spectra of Agns and Ulirgs
A sample of 196 AGNs and ULIRGs observed by the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) on Spitzer is analyzed to study the distribution of the strength of the 9.7μm silicate feature. Average spectra are derived for quasars, Seyfert 1 and Seyfert 2 AGNs, and ULIRGs. We find that quasars are characterized by silicate features in emission and Seyfert 1s equally by emission or weak absorption. Seyfert 2s are ...
