NICMOS Imaging of Infrared-Luminous Galaxies
We present near-infrared images obtained with the HST NICMOS camera for a sample of 9 luminous (LIGs: LIR(8 − 1000μm) ≥ 10 11 L⊙) and 15 ultra-luminous (ULIGS: LIR ≥ 10 12 L⊙) infrared galaxies. The sample includes representative systems classified as warm (f25μm/f60μm > 0.2) and cold (f25μm/f60μm ≤ 0.2) based on the mid-infrared colors and systems with nuclear emission lines classified as HII ...
متن کاملNicmos Observations of Luminous & Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies
HST NICMOS observations of a sample of 24 luminous (LIGs: LIR[8− 1000μm] = 10L⊙) and ultraluminous (ULIGs: LIR ∼10 L⊙) infrared galaxies are presented. The observations provide, for the first time, high resolution HST imaging of the imbedded 1.1 2.2 μm nuclear regions of these mergers. All but one of the ULIGs are observed to have at least one compact (50-200 pc) nucleus, and more than half con...
متن کاملIdentification of Luminous Infrared Galaxies
We present preliminary results on 24μm detections of luminous infrared galaxies at z > ∼ 1 with the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS). Observations were performed in the Lockman Hole and the Extended Groth Strip (EGS), and were supplemented by data obtained with the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) between 3 and 9μm. The positional accuracy of ∼ 2 ′′ for most MIPS/IRAC detections prov...
متن کاملAdaptive Optics Imaging Survey of Luminous Infrared Galaxies
We present high resolution imaging observations of a sample of previously unidentified far-infrared galaxies at z < 0.3. The objects were selected by cross– correlating the IRAS Faint Source Catalog with the VLA FIRST catalog and the HST Guide Star Catalog to allow for adaptive optics observations. We found two new ULIGs (with LFIR ≥ 10 L⊙) and 19 new LIGs (with LFIR ≥ 10 L⊙). Twenty of the gal...
متن کاملAdaptive optics observations of luminous infrared galaxies II . Imaging
We present adaptive optics observations of the Luminous Infrared Galaxy, Arp 299. This merging galaxy (NGC 3690) is the site of a very powerful starburst activity. Very high angular resolution observations at 2.2μm reveal many superclusters of newly formed stars. Those clusters feature intrinsic luminosities and surface densities well above the figures generally found in the Local Cluster, poin...
