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…
Gaps in the cloud cover? Comparing extinction measures in spiral disks
B. W. Holwerda, M. Meyer, M. Regan +11
Dust in galaxies can be mapped by either the FIR/sub-mm emission, the optical or infrared reddening of starlight, or the extinction of a known background source. We compare two dus…
Warm molecular hydrogen in the Spitzer SINGS galaxy sample
H. Roussel, G. Helou, D. J. Hollenbach +12
(simplified) Results on the properties of warm H2 in 57 normal galaxies are derived from H2 rotational transitions, obtained as part of SINGS. This study extends previous extragala…
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…
