THE FUV TO NEAR-IR MORPHOLOGIES OF LUMINOUS INFRARED GALAXIES IN THE GOALS SAMPLE

2014 The Astronomical Journal 148 111.

Caption: Figure 2.

G-M20 at multiple wavelengths (UV, B, I, and H, as labeled) show that, within the Lotz et al. (2008) lines, the quantitative morphology is consistent from UV to near-IR. Most of the objects are in the merger-designated region and move around in that relative space. Figure 1 shows this for each object, where only a few cross the merger line. The yellow pentagons are the galaxies known to be hosting AGN (NGC 34, NGC 3690E, NGC3690W, NGC 6786, NGC 7674). There is no clear correlation between an AGN, dominating the morphology as it becomes unveiled at longer wavelengths.
