HST Observations of Young Star Clusters in Interacting Galaxies
K. D. Borne, W. C. Keel, P. N. Appleton +3
We present early results from the analysis of HST imaging observations for several pairs of interacting galaxies. We include two cases that were specifically chosen to represent a…
The Diverse Population of ULIRGs
K. D. Borne, S. Arribas, H. Bushouse +2
We present results from an on-going Hubble Space Telescope (HST) survey of a large sample of ULIRGs (Ultra-Luminous IR Galaxies). New ground-based observations are now being used t…
The Ultra-Luminous IR Galaxy Population
K. D. Borne, H. Bushouse, L. Colina +2
We summarize results from an on-going Hubble Space Telescope (HST) survey of a large sample of ULIRGs (Ultra-Luminous IR Galaxies). New ground-based multi-fiber spectroscopic obser…
Science User Scenarios for a Virtual Observatory Design Reference Mission: Science Requirements for Data Mining
Kirk D. Borne
The knowledge discovery potential of the new large astronomical databases is vast. When these are used in conjunction with the rich legacy data archives, the opportunities for scie…
A Morphological Classification Scheme for ULIRGs: Evidence for Multiple Mergers
K. D. Borne, H. Bushouse, L. Colina +5
We have used the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to study a large sample of ultraluminous IR galaxies (ULIRGs). With a rich legacy database of 150 high-resolution images, we are study…
HST NICMOS and WFPC2 Imaging of Ultraluminous Galaxies
K. D. Borne, H. Bushouse, L. Colina +6
HST is used to study the power sources and the interaction-induced tidal disturbances within the most luminous galaxies in the local universe -- the Ultra-Luminous IR Galaxies (ULI…
