Star Formation in NGC 5194 (M51a). II. The Spatially-Resolved Star Formation Law
Robert C. Kennicutt, Daniela Calzetti, Fabian Walter +20
We have studied the relationship between the star formation rate (SFR) surface density and gas surface density in the spiral galaxy M51a (NGC 5194), using multi-wavelength data obt…
Variations in 24 micron morphologies among galaxies in the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey: New insights into the Hubble sequence
G. J. Bendo, D. Calzetti, C. W. Engelbracht +7
To study the distribution of star formation and dust emission within nearby galaxies, we measured five morphological parameters in the 3.6 and 24 micron wave bands for 65 galaxies…
The Incidence of Highly-Obscured Star-Forming Regions in SINGS Galaxies
Moire K. M. Prescott, Robert C. Kennicutt, George J. Bendo +14
Using the new capabilities of the Spitzer Space Telescope and extensive multiwavelength data from the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey (SINGS), it is now possible to study t…
The Calibration of Mid-Infrared Star Formation Rate Indicators
D. Calzetti, R. C. Kennicutt, C. W. Engelbracht +25
With the goal of investigating the degree to which the mid-infrared emission traces the star formation rate (SFR), we analyze Spitzer 8 um and 24 um data of star-forming regions in…
Dust Masses, PAH Abundances, and Starlight Intensities in the SINGS Galaxy Sample
B. T. Draine, D. A. Dale, G. Bendo +17
Physical dust models are presented for 65 galaxies in the SINGS survey that are strongly detected in the four IRAC bands and three MIPS bands. For each galaxy we estimate (1) the t…
Dust and Atomic Gas in Dwarf Irregular Galaxies of the M81 Group: The SINGS and THINGS view
F. Walter, J. Cannon, H. Roussel +22
[abridged] We present observations of the dust and atomic gas phase in seven dwarf irregular galaxies of the M81 group from the SINGS and THINGS surveys. The Spitzer observations p…
