Revealing the active galactic nucleus in the superantennae through L-band spectroscopy

G. Risaliti, R. Maiolino, A. Marconi +6

We present an L-band spectrum of the Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxy IRAS 19254-7245 (the Superantennae), obtained with VLT-ISAAC. The high signal to noise ratio allows a study of th…
