Luminous Infrared Galaxies (LIR=10^11-10^12Lsun) have star formation rates in the range of ~20-200Msun/yr. In the local Universe ~50% LIRGs show AGN or AGN/SB...

PublicationExploring the Mid-infrared SEDs of Six AGN Dusty Torus Models. I. Synthetic Spectra
At distances from the active galaxy nucleus where the ambient temperature falls below ̃1500-1800 K, dust is able to survive. It is thus possible to have a large...

TalkPhysical conditions of starburst galaxies from LMT 3-mm spectra
I will present the first Large Millimiter Telescope spectra of 4 nearby galaxies with known high star formation rates. The individual spectra were acquired with...

TalkTesting the Unification Model for AGN in the Infrared: are the obscuring tori of Type 1 and 2 Seyferts different?
I will present new mid-infrared imaging data for a sample of ~20 nearby Seyfert galaxies obtained with T-ReCS and MICHELLE on the Gemini Telescopes at...

TalkThe local dusty environment of active galactic nuclei
Dust reprocesses the intrinsic radiation of active galactic nuclei (AGN) to emerge at longer wavelengths. The mid-infrared (MIR) luminosity depends broadly on...

TalkThe nuclear infrared emission of low-luminosity active galactic nuclei
Low-luminosity AGN (LLAGN; LINERs and low-luminosity Seyferts) are present in numerous nearby galaxies and are often suggested to be the "missing link" between...
