Scientific paper

We propose to observe in the mid and far-infrared twelve moderate-age elliptical galaxies which are believed to be the direct descendants of major galaxy-galaxy mergers. The new observations will trace the old stellar population as well as reveal the presence, physical characteristics, and distribution of any dust present in the systems. The observations will help connect the heavily-studied, very dusty starburst-dominated mergers seen locally and "normal" elliptical galaxies, and provide insight into the behavior of stars and dust in late-stage mergers.
