Description
A new part of our long term study of IR mergers and IR QSOs with galactic winds (GW) is reported. In particular, we present a study of morphology, kinematic and ionization structure of: Arp 220, Mrk 231 and NGC 4038/39. This program is based mainly on INTEGRAL two dimensional (2D) spectroscopy obtained on the 4.2 m William Herschel Telescope (at La Palma Observatory) and Fabry Perot spectroscopy obtained at 3.6 m ESO telescope. These data are combined with high resolution HST images. The properties found in IR mergers/QSOs with galactic winds mainly underline the importance of studing the possible link among: IR mergers, extreme starburst+GW, IR QSOs (with composite nature: AGN+starburst), and elliptical galaxies.
