We present a study of the optical spectral properties of 115 ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) in the southern sky. Using the optical spectra obtained at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) 4 -m telescope and provided by the Two-degree Field (2dF) Galaxy Redshift Survey and the Six-degree Field (6dF) Galaxy Survey, we measure emission linewidths and fluxes for spectral classification. We determine the spectral types of ULIRGs with Hα measurement using the standard…
