Radial distribution of stars, gas and dust in SINGS galaxies. II. Derived dust properties
J. C. Muñoz-Mateos, A. Gil de Paz, S. Boissier +13
We present a detailed analysis of the radial distribution of dust properties in the SINGS sample, performed on a set of UV, IR and HI surface brightness profiles, combined with pub…
The Star Formation Efficiency in Nearby Galaxies: Measuring Where Gas Forms Stars Effectively
Adam K. Leroy, Fabian Walter, Elias Brinks +4
We measure the star formation efficiency (SFE), the star formation rate per unit gas, in 23 nearby galaxies and compare it to expectations from proposed star formation laws and thr…
The Star Formation Law in Nearby Galaxies on Sub-Kpc Scales
Frank Bigiel, Adam Leroy, Fabian Walter +4
(Abridged) We present a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between star formation rate surface density (SFR SD) and gas surface density (gas SD) at sub-kpc resolution in a…
THINGS: The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey
F. Walter, E. Brinks, W. J. G. de Blok +4
We present "The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS)", a high spectral (<=5.2 km/s) and spatial (~6") resolution survey of HI emission in 34 nearby galaxies obtained using the NRAO Ver…
The relations among 8, 24, and 160 micron dust emission within nearby spiral galaxies
G. J. Bendo, B. T. Draine, C. W. Engelbracht +9
We investigate the relations among the stellar continuum-subtracted 8 micron polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH 8 micron) emission, 24 micron hot dust emission, and 160 micron co…
Tracing spiral density waves in M81
S. Kendall, R. C. Kennicutt, C. Clarke +1
We use SPITZER IRAC 3.6 and 4.5micron near infrared data from the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey (SINGS), optical B, V and I and 2MASS Ks band data to produce mass surface…
