摘要
We present the results of our systematic infrared 2.5-35 mu m low-resolution spectroscopy of ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs), using Subaru, AKARI and Spitzer. We detected the signatures of optically-elusive, but intrinsically luminous, buried AGNs in a significant fraction of ULIRGs classified optically as non-Seyferts. The energetic importance of buried AGN increases with increasing galaxy infrared luminosity, which may support the widely-proposed AGN feedback scenario as the origin of the galaxy downsizing phenomenon.
