Abstract:
    We report on near-infrared medium-resolution spectroscopy of
    a sample of luminous and ultra luminous infrared galaxies
    (LIRGs-ULIRGs), carried out with SOFI at the ESO 3.5m New
    Technology Telescope.
Description:
    Medium-resolution Ks-band NIR spectroscopy of the galaxies was
    performed with the SOFI infrared spectrometer at the Nashmyth A focus
    of the ESO 3.5m New Technology Telescope, during August 2001 and
    August 2003. During the 2003 run, 5-min of Ks-band imagning were
    obtained as well.
