The brightest ULIRG:watching the birth of a quasar
  The extreme ULIRG F00183-7111 has recently been found to have a radio-loud
AGN with jets in its centre, representing an extreme example of the class of
radio-loud AGNs buried within dusty star-forming galaxies. This source appears
to be a rare example of a ULIRG glimpsed in the (presumably) brief period as it
changes from "quasar mode" to "radio mode" activity. Such transition stages
probably account for many of the high-redshift radio-galaxies and extreme
high-redshift ULIRGs, and so this object at the relatively low redshift of
0.328 offers a rare opportunity to study this class of objects in detail. We
have also detected the CO signal from this galaxy with the ATCA, and here
describe the implications of this detection for future ULIRG studies.
