Mid-Infrared Diagnostics of LINERs
E. Sturm, D. Rupke, A. Contursi +12
We report results from the first mid-infrared spectroscopic study of a comprehensive sample of 33 LINERs, observed with the Spitzer Space Telescope. We compare the properties of tw…
Host dynamics and origin of Palomar-Green QSOs
K. M. Dasyra, L. J. Tacconi, R. I. Davies +7
We present host-galaxy velocity dispersions of 12 local (mainly Palomar-Green) quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) measured directly from the stellar CO absorption features in the H band.…
Dynamical properties of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies. II. Traces of dynamical evolution and end products of local ultraluminous mergers
K. M. Dasyra, L. J. Tacconi, R. I. Davies +8
We present results from our Very Large Telescope large program to study the dynamical evolution of local Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs) and QSOs. This paper is the second…
Spitzer Quasar and ULIRG evolution study (QUEST): I. The origin of the far infrared continuum of QSOs
M. Schweitzer, D. Lutz, E. Sturm +13
This paper addresses the origin of the far-infrared (FIR) continuum of QSOs, based on the Quasar and ULIRG Evolution Study (QUEST) of nearby QSOs and ULIRGs using observations with…
Hubble Space Telescope H-Band Imaging Survey of Massive Gas-Rich Mergers
S. Veilleux, D. -C. Kim, C. Y. Peng +6
We report the results from a deep HST NICMOS H-band imaging survey of a carefully selected sample of 33 luminous, late-stage galactic mergers at z < 0.3. Signs of a recent galactic…
Mid-infrared Spitzer spectra of X-ray selected Type 2 QSOs: QSO2s are not ULIRGs
E. Sturm, G. Hasinger, I. Lehmann +5
We have performed a spectroscopic study of 7 Type 2 QSOs using the mid-infrared spectrometer IRS on board the Spitzer Space Telescope. These are (to our knowledge) the first mid-IR…
