Massive star formation in Luminous Infrared Galaxies
A. Alonso-Herrero, G. H. Rieke, M. J. Rieke +1
We present HST/NICMOS observations of a sample of LIRGs. We show that active star formation appears to be occurring not only in the bright nuclei of these galaxies, but also in lum…

An Infrared View of Local Universe AGN
Almudena Alonso-Herrero
We summarize recent results on the infrared (IR) nuclear properties of Seyfert galaxies. 100% of all Seyfert 1-1.9$ and ~50% of all Seyfert 2s in the CfA and RSA samples observed w…

Star Formation Rate estimators: [OII]3727 vs. Halpha for local star-forming galaxies
A. Aragon-Salamanca, A. Alonso-Herrero, J. Gallego +4
The [OII]3727 emission line is frequently used as an indicator of the star formation rate (SFR) despite its complex dependence on metallicity and excitation conditions. We have ana…
