A multiwavelength analysis of the clumpy FIR-bright sources in M33
G. Natale, K. Foyle, C. D. Wilson +1
We present a multiwavelength study of a sample of far-infrared (FIR) sources detected on the Herschel broad--band maps of the nearby galaxy M33. We perform source photometry on the…
Insights into gas heating and cooling in the disc of NGC 891 from Herschel far-infrared spectroscopy
T. M. Hughes, K. Foyle, M. R. P. Schirm +15
We present Herschel PACS and SPIRE spectroscopy of the most important far-infrared cooling lines in the nearby edge-on spiral galaxy, NGC 891: [CII] 158 m, [NII] 122, 205 m…
Cold dust but warm gas in the unusual elliptical galaxy NGC 4125
C. D. Wilson, A. Cridland, K. Foyle +19
Data from the Herschel Space Observatory have revealed an unusual elliptical galaxy, NGC 4125, which has strong and extended submillimeter emission from cold dust but only very str…
The Dust & Gas Properties of M83
K. Foyle, C. D. Wilson, E. Mentuch +17
We examine the dust and gas properties of the nearby, barred galaxy M83, which is part of the Very Nearby Galaxy Survey. Using images from the PACS and SPIRE instruments of Hersche…
Investigations of dust heating in M81, M83, and NGC 2403 with the Herschel Space Observatory
G. J. Bendo, A. Boselli, A. Dariush +21
We use Spitzer Space Telescope and Herschel Space Observatory far-infrared data along with ground-based optical and near-infrared data to understand how dust heating in the nearby…
An Observational Estimate for the Mean Secular Evolution Rate in Spiral Galaxies
K. Foyle, H. -W. Rix, S. Zibetti
We have observationally quantified the effect of gravitational torques on stars in disk galaxies due to the stellar distribution itself and explored whether these torques are effic…
The gas-to-dust mass ratio of Centaurus A as seen by Herschel
T. J. Parkin, C. D. Wilson, K. Foyle +20
We present photometry of the nearby galaxy NGC 5128 (Centaurus A) observed with the PACS and SPIRE instruments on board the Herschel Space Observatory, at 70, 160, 250, 350 and 500…
Regional variations in the dense gas heating and cooling in M51 from Herschel far-infrared spectroscopy
T. J. Parkin, C. D. Wilson, M. R. P. Schirm +13
We present Herschel PACS and SPIRE spectroscopy of the most important far-infrared cooling lines in M51, [CII](158 μm), [NII](122 & 205 μm), [OI](63 and 145 μm) and [OIII](88 μ…
Star Formation & Dust Heating in the FIR Bright Sources of M83
K. Foyle, G. Natale, C. D. Wilson +16
We investigate star formation and dust heating in the compact FIR bright sources detected in the Herschel maps of M83. We use the source extraction code GETSOURCES to detect and ex…
