Near-Infrared Observations of FSC 15307+3252
Abstract
Near-infrared observations of the infrared luminous galaxy FSC 15307 + 3252 are reported. Imaging shows that there is at least one, and possibly more, companion sources within 1.5". Near-infrared spectra show the lines of a low-redshift Seyfert 2 galaxy in the visible, and the line ratios are characteristic of narrow-line AGNs. We conclude that FSC 15307 + 3252 represents an extension of the infrared bright systems to higher luminosities.
