MIR spectroscopy of luminous infrared galaxies and the hydrogen recombination photon deficit

We report on near-infrared medium-resolution spectroscopy of a sample of luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs-ULIRGs), carried out with SOFI at the ESO 3.5 m New Technology Telescope. Because of wavelength dependence of the attenuation, the detection of the Paα or Brγ line in the Ks b...
