GOALS UV and FIR properties

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The Great Observatories All-sky LIRG Survey (GOALS) consists of a complete sample of 202 luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) selected from the IRAS Revised Bright Galaxy Sample (RBGS; Sanders et al. 2003, Cat.

Description

J/AJ/126/1607). The galaxies span the full range of interaction stages, from isolated galaxies to interacting pairs to late stage mergers.

We present a comparison of the UV and infrared properties of 135 galaxies in GOALS observed by GALEX and Spitzer. For interacting galaxies with separations greater than the resolution of GALEX and Spitzer (~2"-6"), we assess the UV and IR properties of each galaxy individually. The contribution of the FUV to the measured star formation rate (SFR) ranges from 0.2% to 17.9%, with a median of 2.8% and a mean of 4.0+/-0.4%.

The specific star formation rate (SSFR) of the GOALS sample is extremely high, with a median value (3.9x10^-10^/yr) that is comparable to the highest SSFRs seen in the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey sample. We examine the position of each galaxy on the IR excess-UV slope (IRX-{beta}) diagram as a function of galaxy properties, including IR luminosity and interaction stage.
