Scientific paper

A new class of optically faint galaxies, with erxtreme far-infrared luminosities comparable with those of quasars, has been identified from IRAS data. Here the authors present VLA observations of a small sample, made in order to determine whether this enormous luminosity is a result of Seyfert or starburst activity. They conclude that the sample contains members of both the Seyfert and starburst categories, a result which has important implications for the size of the quasar/Seyfert population.
