Scientific paper

The objective of our program is to study the properties of starbursts triggered by closely interacting galaxies in different states of their merging process. The properties of the starbursts may vary with location, dynamics, age, metallicity, distribution of gas and dust in the overlap region, and the presence of AGN. We will use the 4 IRS modules to measure the excitation of the gas and solid-state features in the mid-infrared spectra of a sample of 11 relatively nearby, spatially resolved interacting systems. In addition we will use IRAC and MIPS on a subset of our sample for complementary imaging.
