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 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…
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…
An Extremely Red r^{1/4} Galaxy in the Test Image of the Hubble Deep Field South
T. Treu, M. Stiavelli, A. R. Walker +14
We report the serendipitous discovery of an extremely red object in the Hubble Deep Field South (HDFS) Test NICMOS (Near Infrared Camera and Multi Object Spectrograph) field of vie…
