Merging Process and Tidal-induced Star Formation in the Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxy IRAS 08572+3915
Integral field optical spectroscopy using the INTEGRAL system, complemented with HST imaging, has been used to characterize the merging process giving rise to the ultraluminous infrared galaxy IRAS 08572+3915, the star formation along the tidal tails of the galaxy, and the nature of the nuclear ionizing sources deep within the galaxy. The overall
