Sasmirala Individual Information for IRAS 00188-0856
Description
IRAS 00188-0856 is an ultra-luminous infrared galaxy at a redshift of z = 0.1284 (D ~ 574 Mpc) with an optical nuclear classification as a LINER [kim_optical_1995, veilleux_optical_1995, veilleux_new_1999] or as borderline Sy 2/starburst [yuan_role_2010]. Here, we treat it as AGN/starburst composite. It was observed with Spitzer/IRAC and IRS and appears nearly unresolved in all corresponding images. The IRS LR staring-mode spectrum shows extremely deep silicate 10 μm absorption and silicate 18 μm absorption with PAH emission and a steep red spectral slope in νFν-space (see also [imanishi_spitzer_2007]). The MIR SED thus indicates strong star formation but also a highly obscured active nucleus in agreement with the results of [imanishi_spitzer_2007]. IRAS 00188-0856 was observed with T-ReCS in the Qa filter in 2009 and a compact MIR nucleus was weakly detected [imanishi_subaru_2011]. The low S/N prevents us from the extension analysis. Our measured nuclear Qa flux is consistent with the value from [imanishi_subaru_2011] and matches well the Spitzer spectrophotometry. Therefore, we use the IRS spectrum to compute 12 and 18 μm continuum emission estimates, which are corrected for the silicate features.

Images
Optical image (DSS, red filter). Displayed are the central 4 arcmin with North being up and East to the left. The colour scaling is linear with white corresponding to the median background (BG) and black to the 0.01% pixels with the highest intensity.
Spitzer MIR images. Displayed are the inner 40 arcsec with North being up and East to the left. The colour scaling is logarithmic with white corresponding to median BG and black to the 0.1% pixels with the highest intensity. The label in the bottom left states instrument and central wavelength of the filter in micron (I: IRAC, M: MIPS).
Subarcsecond-resolution MIR images sorted by increasing filter central wavelength. Displayed are the inner 4 arcsec with North being up and East to the left. The colour scaling is logarithmic with white corresponding to median BG and black to the 75% of the highest intensity of all images in units of sig_bg. The inset image (where present; either bottom or top right) shows the central arcsecond of the PSF from the calibrator star, scaled to match the science target. The labels in the bottom left state instrument and filter names (C: COMICS, M: Michelle, T: T-ReCS, V: VISIR).
SEDs
MIR SED. The description of the symbols in all the SED plots (where present) is the following: Grey crosses and solid lines mark the Spitzer/IRAC, MIPS and IRS data. The colour coding of the other symbols is as follows: green for COMICS, magenta for Michelle, blue for T-ReCS and red for VISIR data. Darker-coloured solid lines mark spectra of the corresponding instrument. The black filled circles mark the nuclear 12 and 18 micron continuum emission estimate from the data (where present). The ticks on the top axis mark positions of common MIR emission lines, while the light grey horizontal bars mark wavelength ranges affected by the silicate 10 and 18 micron features.
