Scientific paper

The Great Observatories All-sky LIRG Survey (GOALS) targets a complete sample of Luminous Infrared Galaxies (LIRGs). These systems are predominantly interacting galaxies covering the entire range of the merger sequence. GOALS is a comprehensive survey combining multiwavelength data sets from UV to mid-IR to paint a complete picture of the fate of gas and stars in interacting galaxies. I will present 12 CO (1-0) high resolution (2 arcseconds) CO maps taken with the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-Wave Astronomy of 10 LIRGs and compare the IR to CO surface densities, and morphologies to those of ULIRGs and normal galaxies and discuss plans to expand our sample, to the entire set LIRGs.
