[Ultra] Luminous InfraRed Galaxies ([U]LIRGs) have a very high star formation rate among star forming galaxies. We model the Spectral Energy Distributions (SEDs) of galaxies from the AKARI Deep Field-South selected at 90m. Applying the CIGALE fitter to estimate their stellar mass, dust mass and dust temperatures, we found 22 LIRGs and 17 ULIRGs, which comprises 25% of our sample. We found that the majority of ULIRGs harbour Type 2 AGN, whereas LIRGs can have both AGN types.
