We present preliminary results from a study of the SEDs of a complete sample of 65 LIRGs from GOALS. The spectral shapes at λ > 10μm are similar, while the largest variations occur in the NIR (L1μm5μm/L⊙ ~ 1.0–0.01) and UV (L1μm0.12μm/L⊙ ~ 2.0–0.005). Using stellar population synthesis models to fit the UV–NIR continuum data, we derive stellar masses for the host galaxies of log (M*/M⊙) ~ 10.2–11.4 with a mean of ~ 10.8.
