| Description | Extremely Luminous far-infrared galaxies (ELFs) are a class of galaxy discovered independently by several groups. The class is characterized by a quasar-like total luminosity (10(exp 11) to 10(exp 13) solar luminosity) which is radiated almost entirely in the far-infrared. It has been suggested that obscured quasar cores may be responsible for generating this luminosity. Here the author demonstrates that ELFs appear in several guises which can be characterized by the number of quasar cores they contain (zero, one or two). The author develops a unified model to account for these differences. |
