J/ApJ/652/1068 Morphology of cool and warm infrared galaxies (Rahman+, 2006) ================================================================================ Probing cool and warm infrared galaxies using photometric and structural measures. Rahman N., Helou G., Mazzarella J.M. =2006ApJ...652.1068R ================================================================================ ADC_Keywords: Galaxies, IR ; Morphology ; Photometry, infrared Keywords: galaxies: active - galaxies: general - galaxies: spiral - galaxies: starburst - galaxies: structure Abstract: We have analyzed a sample of nearby cool and warm infrared (IR) galaxies using photometric and structural parameters. The set of measures include far-infrared color [C=log(S_60um_/S_100um_)], total IR luminosity (L_FIR_), radio surface brightness, and radio, near-infrared, and optical sizes.

Note (4): Peak flux S_p_ in Condon, Anderson & Helou (1991ApJ...376...95C). S_p_ in mJy in the VLA map with the beam of VLA map, selected by "the maximum at which the source is resolved" (Wang & Helou, 1992ApJ...398L..33W). * For IRASF12224-0624 (LIRGs) Condon, Anderson & Helou (1991ApJ...376...95C) gives {theta}_M_*{theta}_m_<5arcsec^2^. We assume {theta}_M_~5arcsec. * For IRASF15250+3608 (ULIRGs) Condon, Anderson & Helou (1991ApJ...376...95C) gives {theta}_M_*{theta}_m_<0.3arcsec^2^. We assume {theta}_M_~0.3arcsec.
