Far-infrared ( FIR ) images and photometry are presented for 201 Luminous and Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies [ LIRGs : log { \thinspace ( L _ { IR } / L _ { \odot } ) = 11.00 - 11.99 } , ULIRGs : log { \thinspace ( L _ { IR } / L _ { \odot } ) = 12.00 - 12.99 } ] , in the Great Observatories All-Sky LIRG Survey ( GOALS ) based on observations with the Herschel Space Observatory Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer ( PACS ) and the Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver ( SPIRE ) instruments .
The image atlas displays each GOALS target in the three PACS bands ( 70 , 100 , and 160 µm ) and the three SPIRE bands ( 250 , 350 , and 500 µm ) , optimized to reveal structures at both high and low surface brightness levels , with images scaled to simplify comparison of structures in the same physical areas of \sim 100 \times 100 kpc ^ { 2 } .
Flux densities of companion galaxies in merging systems are provided where possible , depending on their angular separation and the spatial resolution in each passband , along with integrated system fluxes ( sum of components ) .
This dataset constitutes the imaging and photometric component of the GOALS Herschel OT1 observing program , and is complementary to atlases presented for the Hubble Space Telescope ( Evans et al . 2017 , in prep .
) , Spitzer Space Telescope ( Mazzarella et al . 2017 , in prep .
) , and Chandra X-ray Observatory ( Iwasawa et al . 2011 , 2017 , in prep . ) .
Collectively these data will enable a wide range of detailed studies of AGN and starburst activity within the most luminous infrared galaxies in the local Universe .
