Scientific paper

Luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) provide insights into star formation (SF) and nuclear activity (AGN) under extreme conditions. We are carrying out a multi-wavelength (X-rays, ultraviolet through mid-infrared, and radio) program to obtain high angular resolution observations of a volume-limited sample of local LIRGs. The typical distances to these LIRGs ( D=35-75 Mpc) allow us to identify star clusters and H II regions on scales of tens to hundreds of parsecs. We present here recent results on properties of the massive star-forming regions and star clusters in two LIRGs in our sample, Arp 299 and NGC7469.
