Scientific paper

We report the results of VLA observations of two complete samples of IRAS galaxies, one 'normal' and the other selected to have warm FIR spectra similar to those of Arp 220 and other ultraluminous infrared galaxies. We find that these samples are indeed significantly different in the sense that the color-selected galaxies have more centrally condensed, higher surface brightness, and flatter spectrum radio emission in common with high-luminosity IRAS galaxies. Their FIR/radio ratios are consistent with a star formation origin for the radio emission.
