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…
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…
Molecular gas in water megamaser active galaxies
F. Raluy, P. Planesas, L. Colina
We have searched for molecular gas towards the nucleus of four galaxies known to harbor a water vapor megamaser. CO(1-->0) emission of NGC 2639 and NGC 5506 was strong enough to al…
