Abundant dust found in intergalactic space
E. Xilouris, P. Alton, J. Alikakos +3
Galactic dust constitutes approximately half of the elements more massive than helium produced in stellar nucleosynthesis. Notwithstanding the formation of dust grains in the dense…
The emissivity of dust grains in spiral galaxies
P. B. Alton, E. M. Xilouris, A. Misiriotis +2
We use the radiation transfer simulation of Xilouris et al. (1999) to constrain the quantity of dust in three nearby spiral galaxies (NGC 4013, NGC 5907 and NGC 4565). The predicte…
Mapping the submillimeter spiral wave in NGC 6946
P. B. Alton, S. Bianchi, J. Richer +2
We have analysed SCUBA 850\mum images of the (near) face-on spiral galaxy NGC 6946, and found a tight correlation between dust thermal emission and molecular gas. The map of visual…
Monte Carlo Predictions of Far-Infrared Emission from Spiral Galaxies
S. Bianchi, J. I. Davies, P. B. Alton
We present simulations of Far Infrared (FIR) emission by dust in spiral galaxies, based on the Monte Carlo radiative transfer code of Bianchi, Ferrara & Giovanardi (1996). The radi…
SCUBA observations of NGC 6946
S. Bianchi, J. Davies, P. Alton +2
We present sub-millimetre images of the spiral galaxy NGC 6946 at 450 and 850 um. The observations have been carried out using the scan/map imaging mode of the Sub-millimetre Commo…
ISO observations of spirals: modelling the FIR emission
Simone Bianchi, Paul B. Alton, Jonathan I. Davies
ISO observations at 200 micron have modified our view of the dust component in spiral galaxies. For a sample of seven resolved spirals we have retrieved a mean temperature of 20K,…
