The low metallicity interstellar medium of dwarf galaxies gives a different picture in the far infrared(FIR)/submillimetre(submm)wavelengths than the more metal-rich galaxies. Excess emission is often found in the submm beginning at or…

We report on our first results from a mid-infrared spectroscopic study of ISM features in a sample of deeply obscured ULIRG nuclei using the InfraRed Spectrograph (IRS) on the Spitzer Space Telescope. The spectra are extremely rich and…

We have studied the morphologies of luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs; L_IR(8-1000um)>10^11 Lsun) at 0.3< z<1.4 in the HST Ultradeep Field (UDF) by calculating concentration and asymmetry indices and comparing the results with similar…

Carbon spectral features are ubiquitous in the ultraviolet (UV) and far-infrared (FIR) spectra of galaxies in the epoch of reionization (EoR). We probe the ionized carbon content of a blue compact dwarf galaxy Pox 186 using the UV, optical,…

We present a detailed comparison of the CO(3-2) emitting molecular gas between a local sample of luminous infrared galaxies (U/LIRGs) and a high redshift sample that comprises submm selected galaxies (SMGs), quasars, and Lyman Break…

The mid-infrared spectra (2.5 to 5 and 5.7 to 11.6 mu) obtained by ISO-PHOT reveal the interstellar medium emission from galaxies powered by star formation to be strongly dominated by the aromatic features at 6.2, 7.7, 8.6 and 11.3 mu.…

We present the results of Spitzer IRS low-resolution infrared 5-35 micron spectroscopy of nearby ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) at z < 0.15. We focus on the search for the signatures of buried active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the…

Roughly 80% of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs) show blue shifted absorption in the resonance lines of neutral sodium, indicating that cool winds are common in such objects, as shown by Rupke et al and by Martin. The neutral sodium…

We present the far-IR, millimeter, and radio photometry as well as optical and near-IR spectroscopy of a sample of 48 z~1-3 Spitzer-selected ULIRGs with IRS mid-IR spectra. Our goals are to compute their bolometric emission, and to…

We investigate the possibility that the decrease in the relative luminosity of the 158 micron [CII] line with the far-infrared luminosity in extragalactic sources stems from a stronger contribution from the heated dust emission in the more…
