VizieR Online Data Catalog: Warm molecular hydrogen in nearby LIRGs (Petric+, 2018)

The GOALS sample properties and selection are described in detail in Armus et al. (2009PASP..121..559A). For this investigation, we use the spectra of 248 individual nuclei in 202 LIRG systems, observed in the high-resolution Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) modules (Short-High and Long-High; abbreviated SH and LH) and complementary low-resolution (IRS Short-Low and Long-Low; abbreviated SL and LL) spectra for 234 sources. The widths of the SL, SH, LL, LH slits (3.6", 4.7", 10.7", 11.1") correspond to 1.5, 2.0, 4.5, and 4.6 kpc, respectively, at a distance of 88 Mpc - the median galaxy distance in our sample. The distances to the GOALS galaxies are between 17.5 and 387 Mpc. We obtained the IRS spectra in our own observing program (PI: Armus, PID 30323) for 158 LIRG systems, with the IRS spectra for the remaining 44 LIRG systems taken from the Spitzer archive.
