We present CCD imaging results of our sample of IRAS galaxies with spectral energy distributions peaking at 60μm (Vader et al 1988). The results support our suggestion that the activity in 60μm peaking galaxies is centrally concentrated, and represents an early stage of dust-embedded nuclear activity. This activity is probably triggered by a recent interaction/merger event as indicated by their peculiar optical morphologies. We propose that 60μm peakers are the precursors of S0’s in the case of amorphous systems, and ellipticals in the case of interacting galaxies.
