The Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey: A High-Resolution Spectroscopy Anthology

D. A. Dale, J. D. T. Smith, E. A. Schlawin +18

High resolution mid-infrared spectra are presented for 155 nuclear and extranuclear regions from the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey (SINGS). The fluxes for nine atomic for…

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…

Spectral Mapping Reconstruction of Extended Sources

J. D. T. Smith, L. Armus, D. A. Dale +6

Three dimensional spectroscopy of extended sources is typically performed with dedicated integral field spectrographs. We describe a method of reconstructing full spectral cubes, w…

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…

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…
