... Increases in IR surface brightness appear to be affected by both increased radiation field strength and increased local gas density. Individual regions and the galaxy as a whole fall within the observed scatter of recent high-resolution studies of the radio-far-IR correlation in nearby spiral galaxies; this is likely the result of depleted radio and far-IR emission strengths in the ISM of this dwarf galaxy. ...

. This composite color-image shows the brightest galaxies in four groups located about 4 billion light-years away. The galaxies are ordered in increasing stellar mass. The brightest galaxies in group 1 and 2 both have obvious bright, gravitationally bound companions. The inset in this image obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope shows that the brightest galaxy in group 3 has also a double nucleus. Thus, these galaxies are currently in the process of merging.
