Abstract

We report mid-infrared images of several luminous infrared galaxies (LIGs) taken with ISOCAM on the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). These LIGs were chosen to represent different phases of a merger sequence of galaxy-galaxy interaction with special emphasis on early/intermediate stages of merging. The molecular gas distribution of these LIGs has also been mapped at high spatial resolution (see contribution by Gao et al., this volume). The goal is to do a synoptic study of the evolution of physical conditions in these LIGs along the merger sequence.
