We propose to observe four nearby infrared lumnious galaxies with MIPS as part of our existing GTO program on Interacting/starburst galaxies. These four galaxies were omitted in earlier programs only for techincal reasons and their addition to the body of data already collected is an important final step to bring the observational part of this GTO program to completion. We already obtained high quality IRAC data of these galaxies and MIPS data would help us determine the bolometric luminosities of individual regions in them, and provide better estimates of the local star formation rate. These four galaxies sample relative late stages of the merger process and are expected to offer further clues to the final outcome of the merger process, as well as the detailed distribution of star forming activities and their potential relationship to the formation of active galactic nucleii found near the center region.
