Overview
The GOALS sample consists of a total of 179 LIRGs (log (L_IR/L_sun) = 11.0-11.99) and 22 ultra-luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs: log (L_IR/L_sun) > 12.0) selected from the IRAS Revised Bright Galaxy Sample; these 201 objects comprise a statistically complete flux-limited sample of infrared-luminous galaxies in the local universe. The GOALS objects have been the subject of an intense multi-wavelength observing campaign, including space-based imaging and spectroscopy from Spitzer and Herschel. If you use GOALS Spitzer data, please cite Armus et al. (2009). If you use GOALS Herschel data, please cite Chu et al. (2017). |
