| Description | As part of an investigation of the physical mechanisms which produce large infrared luminosities in interacting systems, multicolor near-infrared maps were obtained of the long tailed galaxy NGC 2623 and the ring galaxy Arp 148. The near-infrared broadband spectrum was decomposed to obtain the contribution of four processes: emission from evolved stars, nebular continuum emission, thermal reradiation, and extinction. This multicolor analysis, along with 2 micrometer maps and 10 micrometer measurements, is used to determine the structure of these interacting galaxies and to delineate regions of star formation. |
