Scientific paper

One of the most important discoveries of the IRAS Satellite has been that some galaxies have anomalously large infrared to optical emission. These predominantly interacting "Starburst" systems are probably sites of extremely vigorous star formation. IRAS has also shown that many Seyferts have strong mid-IR components which are most likely due to emission from dust in the nuclear narrow-line regions. We wish to make broad and narrow-band images of extreme-IR galaxies from both of these classes. This is a pilot study. The ultimate aim of such a program will be to (a) determine the morphologies and colour distributions of both classes of objects as a function of distance and (b) investigate possible relations between the Seyfert and starburst phenomena.
