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…
The Molecular Gas-Star Formation Connection in an Optically-Selected Sample of Interacting Galaxies
Howard A. Bushouse, Steven D. Lord, Susan A. Lamb +2
We have obtained CO(1-0) observations for a sample of 37 interacting galaxy systems, chosen from a parent sample of optically-selected interacting galaxies. The sample observed her…
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…
