TL;DR: The SIRTF Wide Area Infrared Extragalactic Survey (SWIRE) as discussed by the authors is a legacy program of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) that has been used to trace the evolution of galaxies, star forming and active galactic nuclei.

TL;DR: The SIRTF Wide-area InfraRed Extragalactic Survey (SWIRE) as discussed by the authors is the largest survey to date to trace the evolution of galaxies, star-forming galaxies, evolved stellar populations, and AGN.
Starburst in the Intragroup Medium of Stephan's Quintet
Cong Xu,Richard J. Tuffs +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors detect a starburst in the intragroup medium (IGM) of the Stephan's Quintet of galaxies and demonstrate that this starburst is caused by a collision between a high velocity intruder galaxy (NGC7318b) and the IGM of the group.

The Mid-Infrared Color-Luminosity Relation and the Local 12 Micron Luminosity Function
TL;DR: In this article, the contribution of the mid-IR emission features between 3 and 11.6 μm to the IRAS in-band fluxes, using the results of Infrared Space Observatory PHT Spectrophotometer observation of 16 galaxies by Lu et al.

Close Major-merger Pairs at z = 0: Bulge-to-total Ratio and Star Formation Enhancement
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the dependence of the interaction-induced specific star formation rate enhancement (sSFRenh) on the B/T ratio, and the effects of this dependence on the differences between star-forming galaxies (SFGs) in spiral+spiral (S+S) and spiral+elliptical (S+)E) pairs.
