Scientific paper

We present high-resolution J, H, K imaging of the ultra-luminous infrared galaxy and type 2 quasar IRAS 09104+4109 obtained with the laser guide star adaptive optics (LGS-AO) system at Keck Observatory. The observations were made with the NIRC2 narrow camera, using the AGN nucleus itself as the tip/tilt guide star, giving a resolution of 0.07". In addition to extended emission-line filaments, we detect a small companion 0.68" to the north-east that could perhaps be a cluster member associated with the central active nucleus.
