  Title: BURIED AGN IN ULTRALUMINOUS IRAS GALAXIES                                       


Abstract:
 We propose observations of the ultraluminous IRAS galaxies IRAS 00235+1024 and IRAS
 23060+0505 to search for hidden AGN and advance Seyfert/quasar/ultraluminous IRAS
 galaxy unification. Both objects have luminosities characteristic of quasars and
 show evidence for obscuring material. They may have fluorescent line emission which
 would indicate the reprocessing of X-rays from a central AGN. IRAS00235+1024 was
 recently discovered to be the third most luminousIRAS galaxy known during a
 Cambridge APM machine systematic survey. IRAS 23060+0505 is both nearby and powerful
 so we should be able to probe it in detail.
