Far-infrared and submillimeter wavelength surveys have now established the important role
of dusty, star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) in the assembly of stellar mass and the evolution of …

▪ Abstract At luminosities above 1011, infrared galaxies become the dominant population of
extragalactic objects in the local Universe (z≲ 0.3), being more numerous than optically …

The rapidly expanding field of galaxy formation lies at the interface between astronomy,
particle physics, and cosmology. Covering diverse topics from these disciplines, all of which …

Abstract The Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) has discovered a class of ultraluminous
infrared galaxies (L ir> 10 12 L⊙) that are bolometrically as luminous, and slightly more …

We present an evolutionary model for starbursts, quasars, and spheroidal galaxies in which
mergers between gas-rich galaxies drive nuclear inflows of gas, producing starbursts and …

Using numerical simulation, we study the development of gaseous inflows and triggering of
starburst activity in mergers of comparable-mass disk galaxies. In all encounters studied, the …

The dynamics of interacting galaxies as observed in the present epoch is reviewed. Topics
discussed include numerical methods for modeling galactic interactions, the signatures of …

We present observations with the IRAM 30 m telescope of CO in a large sample of
ultraluminous IR galaxies out to redshift z= 0.3. Most of the ultraluminous galaxies in this …

The radio counterparts to the IRAS Redshift Survey galaxies are identified in the NRAO VLA
Sky Survey (NVSS) catalog. Our new catalog of the IR flux-limited (S 60 μ m≥ 2 Jy) …

We present an ISO SWS and ISOPHOT-S, mid-infrared spectroscopic survey of 15
ultraluminous IRAS galaxies (L IR≥ 10 12 L &sun;). We combine the survey results with a …
