Abstract
The Great Observatories All-sky LIRG Survey (GOALS), combines imaging and spectroscopic data from NASA's Spitzer, Hubble, Chandra, GALEX and the ESA/NASA Herschel Missions in a comprehensive space-borne study of over 200 of the most luminous infrared-selected galaxies in the local Universe. These data provide an unbiased picture of the processes responsible for enhanced infrared emission in the local Universe, and are excellent analogs for comparisons with infrared and sub-millimeter selected galaxies at high-redshift because we can study the processes in action that are responsible for their evolution. I discuss recent results from the survey, including the discovery of: buried starbursts, the prevalence of off-nuclear star-formation, and the incidence of dual coalescing nuclear black holes.
