We present low-resolution (64 < R < 124) mid-infrared (8--38 micron) Spitzer/IRS spectra of two z~1.3 ultraluminous infrared galaxies (LFIR~10^13) discovered in a Spitzer/MIPS survey of the Bootes field of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey…

In order to test the unification scheme for double-lobed radio sources, the far-infrared properties of matched samples of radio-galaxies and radio-loud quasars were studied using ISOPHOT. The quasar data were complemented with nearly…
