    VLT-VIMOS integral field spectroscopy of luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies. I. The sample and first results
    Context: (Ultra)Luminous Infrared Galaxies [(U)LIRGs] are much more numerous at cosmological distances than locally, and are likely the precursors of elliptical...

    VLT-VIMOS integral field spectroscopy of luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies. II. Evidence for shock ionization caused by tidal forces in the extra-nuclear regions of interacting and merging LIRGs
    Context. Luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) are an important class of objects in the low-z universe bridging the gap between normal spirals and the strongly...

    VLT-VIMOS integral field spectroscopy of luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies. III. The atlas of the stellar and ionized gas distribution
    Context. Luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs and ULIRGs) are much more numerous at higher redshifts than locally, dominating the star-formation...
