Starbursts in active galaxy nuclei: observational constraints from IR stellar absorption lines

E. Oliva, L. Origlia, R. Maiolino +1

High quality infrared spectra of active galaxies including the stellar absorption features of Si at 1.59 um, CO(6,3) at 1.62 um, and CO(2,0) at 2.29 um are used to measure the stel…
