Luminous infrared galaxies

TL;DR: At the highest luminosities (Lir > 1012 ), nearly all objects appear to be advanced mergers powered by a mixture of circumnuclear starburst and active galactic nucleus energy sources, both of which are fueled by an enormous concentration of molecular gas that has been funneled into the merger nucleus as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ultraluminous infrared galaxies and the origin of quasars

TL;DR: In this article, ground-based observations of a complete sample of 10 of these infrared galaxies suggest that they represent the initial dust-enshrouded stages of quasars, and a second group of ultraluminous objects selected on the basis of warm infrared colors are found to be preferentially Seyfert galaxies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mass and environment as drivers of galaxy evolution in SDSS and zCOSMOS and the origin of the Schechter function

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the simple interrelationships between mass, star formation rate, and environment in the SDSS, zCOSMOS, and other deep surveys.
