Luminous infrared galaxies as plausible gamma-ray sources for GLAST and IACTs

Astrophysics 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We argue that luminous infrared galaxies (LIGs) may constitute a newly detectable population of gamma-ray sources for the next generation of ground and space-based high energy telescopes. Additionally, we report for the first time upper limits on their fluxes using data obtained with the EGRET telescope.
