Evolution of local Ultraluminous mergers from NIR spectroscopy
K. M. Dasyra, L. J. Tacconi, R. I. Davies +4
We present results from our VLT Large Program to study the dynamical evolution of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs). We have so far obtained near-infrared high-resolution IS…
Mid-infrared ISO spectroscopy of NGC 4945
H. W. W. Spoon, J. Koornneef, A. F. M. Moorwood +2
We have observed the central region of the nearby starburst galaxy NGC4945 with the mid-infrared spectrometers SWS and PHT-S aboard ISO. We do not find any evidence for the existen…
Searching for AGN signatures in Mid-IR Spectra: The case of NGC1068
O. Laurent, I. F. Mirabel, V. Charmandaris +3
We present mid-IR observations of the prototypical Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068 obtained with ISOCAM between 5 and 16micron. The proximity of this galaxy coupled with the spectro-imag…
Infrared 3D Observations of Nearby Active Galaxies
R. Maiolino, N. Thatte, A. Alonso-Herrero +2
We present multi-wavelength imaging observations of three nearby and famous active galaxies obtained with NICMOS, ISOCAM and the MPE near-IR integral field spectrometer. The data r…
ISO-SWS spectroscopy of IC443 and the origin of the IRAS 12 and 25 micron emission from radiative supernova remnants
E. Oliva, D. Lutz, S. Drapatz +1
ISO-SWS spectral observations of the supernova remnant IC443 are presented. Like other radiative SNRs, this object is characterized by prominent line-emitting filaments and relativ…
