ISOCAM Observations of a Galaxy Merging Sequence

Charmandaris, V.; Mirabel, I. F.; Gallais, P. +1 more

We present mid-IR (5–16µm) images and spectra of a sequence of interacting galaxies, observed by ISOCAM. The galaxies were selected as being at progressive stages in the time evolution of a merging event and having no detected contribution from an active galactic nucleus (AGN) in their mid-IR spectrum. To trace the intensity of the global st…
