IRAS 05189-2524 is a galaxy merger located in the constellation Lepus. It is located 603 million light-years away from the Solar System and has an approximate diameter of 75,000 light-years. [1]

A luminous galaxy

IRAS 05189-2524 is classified as an ultraluminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG), [2] which is formed by two interacting gas-rich spiral galaxies that merged together. [3] Signs left by merging process, included a single bright nucleus and an outer structure consisting one-sided extension of the inner arms, with its tidal tail formed by material ripped from the galaxies by gravitational forces. [4]

IRAS 05189-2524 is one of the brightest local ULIRG in X-ray with a E = 2–10 keV continuum luminosity of ~1043 erg/s [5] This tend to vary overtime in which the E = 0.5–2 keV was relatively constant during the 2001-2002 observation done by XMM Newton and Chandra. But in 2006 study done by Suzaku shows it was a factor of ~30 lower. [6] The galaxy has a power output above 10 times that of our sun, [7] emitting a tremendous amount of light at infrared wavelengths. [4]

Moreover, IRAS 05189-2524 is classified an optical Seyfert 2 galaxy, [6] [8] presenting a hidden broadline region. [9] A study noticed there is ~70% percent of the bolometric luminosity attributed to its active galactic nucleus, [10] thus making it a quasar. It is represented by its dust enshrouded stage [11] which is shed overtime by the nuclei. [11] There is a sign of high-velocity large-scale outflows detached in neutral, ionized and molecular gas phrases. [12]

An observation by XMM Newton and NuSTAR, shows evidence for a blueshifted Fe K absorption feature at E = 7.8 KeV which indicates there is an ultrafast outflow (UFO) with vout = 0.11 ± 0.01c. [6] A relative disk reflection in the broadband X-ray spectrum, shows a highly asymmetric board Fe Kα emission line that extends down to 3 KeV with a Compton scattering component above 10 KeV. [13]

Further studies shows there is a new, quasi-luminous hard X-ray and near-IR spectra in IRAS 05189-2524. The Seyfert nucleus is Compton-thin and the near-IR board lines are seen in transmission, similar to X-rays and the medium has an Aṿ/ɴH ratio that is lower than Galactic. [14] Also, the increase in obscuration at latter approach shows less △Aṿ/△Nн compared to Galactic, thus supporting a correlation between the proximity to the center and properties of obscuring matter. Most of the observed polarization is due to dichroism given the fact, the measured AV is compatible with the broad component of Нα seen in transmission. [14]

There are Na i D emission in the system traces dusty filaments on the near side of an extended active galactic nucleus in IRAS 05189-2524 which has projected velocities up to 2000 km/s. These filaments simultaneously obscure the stellar continuum, serving as complementary probe of the wind, in which they are the strongest in regions of low foreground obscuration. [15]

In astronomy and astrophysics, an ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) is less luminous than an active galactic nucleus but more consistently luminous than any known stellar process (over 1039 erg/s, or 1032 watts), assuming that it radiates isotropically (the same in all directions). Typically there is about one ULX per galaxy in galaxies which host them, but some galaxies contain many. The Milky Way has not been shown to contain an ULX, although SS 433 is a candidate. The main interest in ULXs stems from their luminosity exceeding the Eddington luminosity of neutron stars and even stellar black holes. It is not known what powers ULXs; models include beamed emission of stellar mass objects, accreting intermediate-mass black holes, and super-Eddington emission.

Luminous infrared galaxies or LIRGs are galaxies with luminosities, the measurement of brightness, above 1011 L☉. They are also referred to as submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) through their normal method of detection. LIRGs are more abundant than starburst galaxies, Seyfert galaxies and quasi-stellar objects at comparable luminosity. Infrared galaxies emit more energy in the infrared than at all other wavelengths combined. A LIRG's luminosity is 100 billion times that of the Sun.
