Notes. ⁽¹⁾ Logarithm of the infrared luminosity, m), in units of solar bolometric luminosity, calculated using the fluxed in the four IRAS bands as given in Sanders et al. (2003), when available. Otherwise from the IRAS fluxes given in IRAS Point Source and Faint Source catalogs Moshir et al. (1990). When a system of more than one galaxy is observed using several VIMOS pointings, the infrared luminosity of the entire system is indicated in the data corresponding to the first galaxy of the system.
⁽²⁾ Velocity dispersion derived from the H line.
⁽³⁾ Classification uncertain. Not used in the analysis of systems grouped by interaction class.
