The ISM scaling relations in DustPedia late-type galaxies: A benchmark study for the Local Universe
Viviana Casasola, Simone Bianchi, Pieter De Vis +18
The purpose of this work is the characterization of the main scaling relations between all the ISM components (dust, atomic/molecular/total gas), gas-phase metallicity, and other g…
High-resolution, 3D radiative transfer modelling III. The DustPedia barred galaxies
Angelos Nersesian, Sam Verstocken, Sebastien Viaene +17
Context: Dust in late-type galaxies in the local Universe is responsible for absorbing approximately one third of the energy emitted by stars. It is often assumed that dust heating…
The Molecular Clouds of M31
Charles J. Lada, Jan Forbrich, Glen Petitpas +1
Deep interferometric observations of CO and dust continuum emission are obtained with the Sub-Millimeter Array (SMA) at 230 GHz to investigate the physical nature of the giant mole…
The distribution of interstellar dust in CALIFA edge-on galaxies via oligochromatic radiative transfer fitting
Gert De Geyter, Maarten Baes, Peter Camps +5
We investigate the amount and spatial distribution of interstellar dust in edge-on spiral galaxies, using detailed radiative transfer modeling of a homogeneous sample of 12 galaxie…
High-resolution, 3D radiative transfer modelling V. A detailed model of the M51 interacting pair
Angelos Nersesian, Sebastien Viaene, Ilse De Looze +13
Investigating the dust heating mechanisms in galaxies provides a deeper understanding of how the internal energy balance drives their evolution. Over the last decade, radiative tra…
Far-reaching Dust Distribution in Galaxy Disks
Matthew W. L. Smith, Stephen A. Eales, Ilse De Looze +21
In most studies of dust in galaxies, dust is only detected from its emission to approximately the optical radius of the galaxy. By combining the signal of 110 spiral galaxies obser…
The Herschel Exploitation of Local Galaxy Andromeda (HELGA). VI. The distribution and properties of molecular cloud associations in M31
Jason M. Kirk, Walter K. Gear, Jacopo Fritz +18
In this paper we present a catalogue of Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs) in the Andromeda (M31) galaxy extracted from the Hershel Exploitation of Local Galaxy Andromeda (HELGA) datase…
High-resolution, 3D radiative transfer modeling : I. The grand-design spiral galaxy M51
Ilse De Looze, Jacopo Fritz, Maarten Baes +20
Context: Dust reprocesses about half of the stellar radiation in galaxies. The thermal re-emission by dust of absorbed energy is considered driven merely by young stars and, conseq…
The Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey. XIX. Physical properties of low luminosity FIR sources at 0.5
Ciro Pappalardo, Luca Bizzocchi, Jacopo Fritz +12
The Star formation rate (SFR) is a crucial parameter to investigate galaxy evolution. At low redshift the cosmic SFR density declines smoothly, and massive active galaxies become p…
The Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey. XVII. SPIRE point-source catalogs and number counts
Ciro Pappalardo, George J. Bendo, Simone Bianchi +19
We present three independent catalogs of point-sources extracted from SPIRE images at 250, 350, and 500 micron as a part of the Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey (HeViCS). The source p…
The dust-star interplay in late-type galaxies at z < 0.5: forecasts for the JWST
Ciro Pappalardo, George J. Bendo, Mederic Boquien +4
In recent years, significant growth in the amount of data available to astronomers has opened up the possibility to uncover fundamental correlations, linking the dust component of…
The HASHTAG project I. A Survey of CO(3-2) Emission from the Star Forming Disc of M31
Zongnan Li, Zhiyuan Li, Matthew W. L. Smith +26
We present a CO(3-2) survey of selected regions in the M31 disc as part of the JCMT large programme, HARP and SCUBA-2 High-Resolution Terahertz Andromeda Galaxy Survey (HASHTAG). T…
