Our meticulous crossmatching technique significantly enhances the reliability of ULIRG identification, resulting in the identification of 283 reliable ULIRGs, including 102 new detections, while discarding 120 previously reported false sources. Covering a redshift range of z=0.018-0.996, with a median redshift of \bar{z}=0.259, our uniform sample reveals apparent interaction features in approximately 40% of ULIRGs, increasing to 92% for those with z<0.1. Through optical spectra analysis, it is indicated that over 58% of ULIRGs host an active galactic nucleus (AGN), which is twice as high as detections based solely on infrared colors. Moreover, a pronounced excess of radio emissions associated with AGN activity results in a steeper radio-far-infrared correlation. Notably, Type I ULIRGs exhibit properties similar to those of narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies, with an elevated incidence rate of Mg ii broad absorption lines (16.7%), surpassing that of typical optically selected quasars by over tenfold, consistent with current evolutionary models. We anticipate that forthcoming telescopes such as the China Space Station Telescope and Leighton Chajnantor Telescope will provide deeper insights into ULIRG morphology, dust distribution, molecular gas, and AGN activity.2024ApJS..274....5Zhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJS/274/5CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toII/156 : IRAS Faint Source Catalog, |b| > 10, Version 2.0 (Moshir+ 1989)II/275 : IRAS Faint Source Reject Catalog (IPAC 1992)VIII/65 : 1.4GHz NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) (Condon+ 1998)II/328 : AllWISE Data Release (Cutri+ 2013)VIII/92 : The FIRST Survey Catalog, Version 2014Dec17 (Helfand+ 2015)VII/289 : SDSS quasar catalog, sixteenth data release (DR16Q) (Lyke+, 2020)V/154 : Sloan Digital Sky Surveys (SDSS), Release 16 (DR16) (Ahumada+, 2020)VII/294 : The Million Quasars (Milliquas) catalogue, version 8 (Flesch, 2023)J/ApJ/252/102 : Radio sources in bright spiral galaxies.
