Modeling the Nuclear Infrared Spectral Energy Distribution of Type II Active Galactic Nuclei
Paulina Lira, Liza Videla, Yanling Wu +3
We present results from model fitting to the Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) of a homogeneous sample of Seyfert II galaxies drawn from the m Galaxy Sample. Imaging and nucl…
Nuclear Infrared Spectral Energy Distribution of Type II Active Galactic Nuclei
Liza Videla, Paulina Lira, Heather Andrews +3
We present near and mid--IR observations of a sample of Seyfert II galaxies drawn from the m Galaxy Sample. The sample was observed in the J, H, K, L, M and N bands. Galaxy Su…
WISE Discovery of Low Metallicity Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxies
Roger L. Griffith, Chao-Wei Tsai, Daniel Stern +10
We report two new low metallicity blue compact dwarf galaxies (BCDs), WISEP J080103.93+264053.9 (hereafter W0801+26) and WISEP J170233.53+180306.4 (hereafter W1702+18), discovered…
The mid-IR Luminosity Function at z<0.3 from 5MUSES: Understanding the Star-formation/AGN Balance from a Spectroscopic View
Yanling Wu, Yong Shi, George Helou +6
We present rest-frame 15 and 24 um luminosity functions and the corresponding star-forming luminosity functions at z<0.3 derived from the 5MUSES sample. Spectroscopic redshifts hav…
Extended Schmidt Law: Role Of Existing Stars In Current Star Formation
Yong Shi, George Helou, Lin Yan +4
We propose an "extended Schmidt law" with explicit dependence of the star formation efficiency (SFE=SFR/Mgas) on the stellar mass surface density. This relation has a power-law ind…
Infrared Luminosities and Aromatic Features in the 24um Flux Limited Sample of 5MUSES
Yanling Wu, George Helou, Lee Armus +12
We study a 24\,m selected sample of 330 galaxies observed with the Infrared Spectrograph for the 5\,mJy Unbiased Spitzer Extragalactic Survey. We estimate accurate total infrare…
The Energetics of Molecular Gas in NGC 891 from H2 and FIR Spectroscopy
G. J. Stacey, V. Charmandaris, F. Boulanger +5
We have studied the molecular hydrogen energetics of the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC\,891, using a 34-position map in the lowest three pure rotational H lines observed with the S…
Mid-IR properties of Seyferts: Spitzer/IRS spectroscopy of the IRAS 12micron Seyfert sample
V. Charmandaris, Yanling Wu, J. Huang +2
We performed an analysis of the mid-infared properties of the 12micron Seyfert sample, a complete unbiased 12micron flux limited sample of local Seyfert galaxies selected from the…
Probing the Excitation of Extreme Starbursts: High Resolution Mid-IR Spectroscopy of Blue Compact Dwarfs
Lei Hao, Yanling Wu, V. Charmandaris +5
We present an analysis of the mid-infrared emission lines for a sample of 12 low metallicity Blue Compact Dwarf (BCD) galaxies based on high resolution observations obtained with I…
A Spitzer high resolution mid-infrared spectral atlas of starburst galaxies
J. Bernard-Salas, H. W. W. Spoon, V. Charmandaris +10
We present an atlas of Spitzer/IRS high resolution (R~600) 10-37um spectra for 24 well known starburst galaxies. The spectra are dominated by fine-structure lines, molecular hydrog…
Spitzer/IRS 5-35 um Low-Resolution Spectroscopy of the 12 um Seyfert Sample
Yanling Wu, Vassilis Charmandaris, Jiasheng Huang +2
We present low-resolution 5.5-35 um spectra for 103 galaxies from the 12 um Seyfert sample, a complete unbiased 12 um flux limited sample of local Seyfert galaxies selected from th…
