Stellar kinematics in the nuclear regions of nearby LIRGs with VLT-SINFONI: Comparison with gas phases and implications for dynamical mass estimations

Context. Nearby luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) are often considered to be the local counterpart of the star forming galaxy (SFG) population at z  > 1. Therefore, local LIRGs are ideal systems with which to perform spatially resolved studies on the physical processes that govern these objects...

Description
Summary:Context. Nearby luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) are often considered to be the local counterpart of the star forming galaxy (SFG) population at z  > 1. Therefore, local LIRGs are ideal systems with which to perform spatially resolved studies on the physical processes that govern these objects and to validate assumptions made in high- z studies because of a lack of sensitivity and/or spatial resolution. Aims. In this work we analyse the spatially resolved kinematics of the stellar component in the inner r
