Learning to detect continuous gravitational waves: an open data-analysis competition

Rodrigo Tenorio, Michael J. Williams, Joseph Bayley +29

We report results of a public data-analysis challenge, hosted on the open data-science platform Kaggle, to detect simulated continuous gravitational-wave signals (CWs). These are w…

The Complete Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (CSG)

P. M. Sánchez-Alarcón, H. Salo, J. H. Knapen +25

The Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (SG), together with its Early Type Galaxy (ETG) extension, stand as the most extensive dataset of deep, uniform mid-infrared…

Cool dust heating and temperature mixing in nearby star-forming galaxies

L. K. Hunt, B. T. Draine, S. Bianchi +20

Physical conditions of the interstellar medium in galaxies are closely linked to the ambient radiation field and the heating of dust grains. In order to characterize dust propertie…

Towards A Removal of Temperature Dependencies from Abundance Determinations

Kevin V. Croxall, J. D. Smith, B. R. Brandl +16

The metal content of a galaxy is a key property for distinguishing between viable galaxy evolutionary scenarios, and it strongly influences many of the physical processes in the in…

The CO-to-H2 Conversion Factor and Dust-to-Gas Ratio on Kiloparsec Scales in Nearby Galaxies

K. M. Sandstrom, A. K. Leroy, F. Walter +42

We present kiloparsec (kpc) spatial resolution maps of the CO-to-H2 conversion factor (alpha_co) and dust-to-gas ratio (DGR) in 26 nearby, star-forming galaxies. We have simultaneo…

Modeling Dust and Starlight in Galaxies Observed by Spitzer and Herschel: NGC 628 and NGC 6946

G. Aniano, B. T. Draine, D. Calzetti +26

We characterize the dust in NGC628 and NGC6946, two nearby spiral galaxies in the KINGFISH sample. With data from 3.6um to 500um, dust models are strongly constrained. Using the Dr…

Star Formation Laws: the Effects of Gas Cloud Sampling

Daniela Calzetti, Guilin Liu, Jin Koda

Recent observational results indicate that the functional shape of the spatially-resolved star formation-molecular gas density relation depends on the spatial scale considered. The…

A Study of Heating and Cooling of the ISM in NGC 1097 with Herschel-PACS and Spitzer-IRS

P. Beirao, L. Armus, G. Helou +38

NGC 1097 is a nearby Seyfert 1 galaxy with a bright circumnuclear starburst ring, a strong large-scale bar and an active nucleus. We present a detailed study of the spatial variati…
