AbstractWe draw attention to a curious coincidence wherein the most (steadily emitting) luminous objects in the Universe from stellar X-ray sources to ultra-luminous quasars and Ultra Luminous Infrared Galaxies, steadily emit a power per unit mass, which is just the same value as the maximal metabolic rate in (warm-blooded) bio-organisms.

AbstractFrom the earliest extragalactic infrared studies AGN have shown themselves to be strong infrared sources, and IR surveys have revealed new populations of AGN. I briefly review current motivations for AGN surveys in the infrared and results from previous IR surveys. The Luminous Infrared Galaxies, which in some cases house dust-enshrouded AGN, submillimeter surveys, and recent studies of the cosmic x-ray and infrared backgrounds suggest that there is a population of highly-obscured AGN at high redshift. ISO Surveys have begun to resolve the infrared background and may have detected this obscured AGN population. New infrared surveys, particularly the SIRTF Wide-area Infrared Extragalactic Legacy Survey (SWIRE) will detect this population and provide a platform for understanding the evolution of AGN, Starbursts and passively evolving galaxies in the context of large-scale structure and environment.

We present recent results of X-ray observations of two luminous infrared galaxies, NGC3690+IC694 (Arp299) and NGC1614 obtained by the Japanese X-ray astronomical satellite ASCA. Both galaxies have quite high infrared luminosity (> 1011L⊙) and strong evidence of merger.

I review the recent Chandra results on the sources of the X-ray background and the X-ray properties of the SCUBA sources. We conclude that 10–20% of the IR background is produced by active galaxies and a similar fraction of the SCUBA sources harbor luminous AGN. Many of the Chandra sources are apparently luminous infrared galaxies themselves, but factors of 2–10 below the SCUBA limits. We summarize the X-ray evidence for metal production in groups and clusters and point out that these data require considerably more star formation than inferred from optical stellar data. The abundance ratios of Fe and Si indicate that much of the metals in groups and clusters was produced by massive stars, and the lack of evolution in Fe out to z ~ 0.5 argues for quite an early origin for the metals. This same process also seems to have injected considerable energy into the gas in groups and clusters, which may have dominated the mechanism of star formation and produced a metal-enriched intergalactic medium

AbstractThis paper presented the discovery of an energetic nuclear transient from near-infrared monitoring of nearby starburst and luminous infrared galaxies. The transient radiated at least 1.5E+52 erg in the infrared but remained elusive at optical and X-ray wavelengths. We interpret its properties as arising from a stellar tidal disruption event (TDE) close to a supermassive black hole. Much of its emission must have been reprocessed by dense gas and re-radiated at infrared wavelengths by dust, suggesting a way for reducing the tension between theoretical luminosity predictions and observations of TDEs. Such events are not detectable by optical, UV or soft X-ray observations, and might represent just the tip of the iceberg of a missed TDE population in the local Universe. That population could be more numerous at higher redshifts where luminous infrared galaxies are more common.

We are studying a sample of nearly 20 nearby (cz≲13,000 km s−1) IR-luminous interacting/merging galaxies observed with the ACIS in the Chandra archive (e.g., Gao et al. 2003; Ptak et al. 2003). Most galaxies in the sample are luminous infrared galaxies (LIGs) and nearly half of them are ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIGs) with bolometric luminosities comparable to QSOs. Based on multiwavelength data and numerical simulations of gas-rich galaxy mergers, we have attempted to arrange them in a merger sequence perspective and compared their broadband X-ray emission here with the optical images (mostly DSS).
