Ultr-Luminous Infrared Galaxies: QSOs in Formation?
We present new near-infrared Keck and VLT spectroscopic data on the stellar dynamics in late stage, ultra-luminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG) mergers . We now have information on the structural and kinematic properties of 18 ULIRGs, 8 of which contain QSO-like active galactic nuclei. The host propertie...
