High-resolution Optical/near-infrared Imaging of Cool Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies
We present high spatial resolution BIHK@-band imaging of a sample of ultralu(FWHMB 0A.3È0A.8) minous infrared galaxies ULIGs) with ““ cool ÏÏ mid-infrared colors (L ir[ 1012 L _ ; ( f25 km/f60 km\ 0.2), which select against active galactic nucleusÈlike (AGN-like) systems, a complementary sample to the ““ warm ÏÏ ULIGs of Surace and coworkers. We Ðnd that all of the cool ULIGs are either advance...
متن کاملSpitzer Mid-Infrared Imaging of Nearby Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies
We have observed 14 nearby (z < 0.16) Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs) with Spitzer at 3.6—24μm. The underlying host galaxies are well-detected, in addition to the luminous nuclear cores. While the spatial resolution of Spitzer is poor, the great sensitivity of the data reveals the underlying galaxy merger remnant, and provides the first look at off-nuclear mid-infrared activity.
متن کاملUltraluminous 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...
