Although they are rare in the local Universe, recent IR and sub-mm surveys indicate that LIRGs dominate the radiant energy density of the Universe at high redshifts. In order to interpret rest-frame UV observations of high-redshift IR/sub-mm galaxies, it is essential to measure UV properties that can be observed with high spatial resolution and high S/N only in their nearby analogs.
We combine GALEX and Spitzer data from the Great Observatories All-Sky LIRG Survey (GOALS; 203 systems selected from the IRAS Revised Bright Galaxy Sample). The GOALS sample spans the full range of interaction stages, from isolated galaxies to interacting pairs to mergers. The resolution of GALEX and Spitzer allow us to investigate each component of the interacting LIRG systems. In particular, we examine position on the IRX-beta diagram as a function of galaxy properties, including L_IR and interaction stage.
