Abstract
AbstractThe majority of infrared active galaxies (ffir/fb ≥ 2) have molecular to atomic mass fractions in the range of 0.5 to 2.0. Among the galaxies with the higher infrared excesses there are spectacular cases of HI deficient systems, where less than 15% of the total mass of interstellar gas is in atomic form. The optical morphology of luminous infrared galaxies suggest that the overall mass fractions of molecular to atomic gas, and the infrared luminosities per nucleon of interstellar gas are enhanced during galaxy-galaxy interactions.
