Determining dust temperatures and masses in the Herschel era: the importance of observations longward of 200 micron

K. D. Gordon, F. Galliano, S. Hony +21

The properties of the dust grains (e.g., temperature and mass) can be derived from fitting far-IR SEDs (>100 micron). Only with SPIRE on Herschel has it been possible to get high s…

The Dust-to-Gas Ratio in the Small Magellanic Cloud Tail

K. D. Gordon, C. Bot, E. Muller +21

The Tail region of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) was imaged using the MIPS instrument on the Spitzer Space Telescope as part of the SAGE-SMC Spitzer Legacy. Diffuse infrared emi…

Millimeter dust continuum emission unveiling the true mass of giant molecular clouds in the Small Magellanic Cloud

C. Bot, F. Boulanger, M. Rubio +1

CO observations have been so far the best way to trace molecular gas in external galaxies, but at low metallicity the gas mass deduced could be largely underestimated. At present,…

The Spitzer Survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud: FIR Emission and Cold Gas in the SMC

Adam Leroy, Alberto Bolatto, Snezana Stanimirovic +3

We present new far infrared maps of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) at 24, 70, and 160 microns obtained as part of the Spitzer Survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud (S3MC,Bolatto e…

The Nature of Infrared Emission in the Local Group Dwarf Galaxy NGC 6822 As Revealed by Spitzer

John M. Cannon, Fabian Walter, Lee Armus +19

We present Spitzer imaging of the metal-deficient (Z ~30% Z_sun) Local Group dwarf galaxy NGC 6822. On spatial scales of ~130 pc, we study the nature of IR, H alpha, HI, and radio…
