In the course of expanding the search of Kleinmann et. al. (1988) for distant, infrared-luminous objects, the authors noticed (as is often remarked) that a large number of infrared-selected galaxies have close neighbors or show merger characteristics (e.g., tidal tails, distorted disks). Because the sample size is large (567 infrared galaxies and 2182 field galaxies), this sample is ideal for statistically examining the importance of interactions among infrared galaxies. In particular, the authors compare the nearest-neighbor distribution and the two-point correlation function of their sample with that of a control sample of field galaxies.
