Description
We present the properties of all the galaxies detected by ISO at 7, 15
and 90 microns in ELAIS northern fields. The spectral energy
distribution (SED) of those 20 galaxies with IRAS detections can
generally be well fitted by a predominant cirrus component plus a modest
starburst contribution. Follow-up spectroscopy has shown that all the
objects are emission-line galaxies but without a very intense star
formation event. Most of the galaxies analyzed by means of optical R
band photometry result to host an important exponential disk component,
in good agreement with the SED IR modelling. We note that galaxies with
morphological signs of perturbations seem to show slightly higher
f15/f6.7 ratios, indicating that star formation
could be more important in them. One of the objects is a broad-line,
radio-quiet quasar at z=1.099; its spectral energy distribution
indicates that it is a hyperluminous infrared galaxy (HLIG), the first
HLIG detected in the ELAIS areas.
