Spectroscopy of Luminous Infrared Galaxies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
A review of recent optical and infrared spectroscopic results on luminous infrared galaxies is presented. The main emphasis is on the ultraluminous objects. Possible correlations with infrared luminosity are identified. These results are used to constrain the nature of the dominant energy source in luminous infrared galaxies, and to test whether these objects may represent an evolutionary phase between starburst galaxies and active galactic nuclei.
