Integral field spectroscopy based H<i>α</i>sizes of local luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies

Abstract

Aims. We study the analogy between local luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies (U/LIRGs) and high-z massive star forming galaxies (SFGs) by comparing their basic Hα structural characteristics, such as size and luminosity surface density, in an homogeneous way (i.e. same tracer, size definition, and similar physical scales).
