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…
The Spatial Distribution of Dust and Stellar Emission of the Magellanic Clouds
Ramin A. Skibba, Charles W. Engelbracht, Gonzalo Aniano +24
We study the emission by dust and stars in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, a pair of low-metallicity nearby galaxies, as traced by their spatially resolved spectral energy d…
The Star Formation in Radio Survey: GBT 33 GHz Observations of Nearby Galaxy Nuclei and Extranuclear Star-Forming Regions
E. J. Murphy, J. Bremseth, B. S. Mason +7
We present 33\,GHz photometry of 103 galaxy nuclei and extranuclear star-forming complexes taken with the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) as part of the Star Formation in Radio Survey (…
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…
Cool Dust in the Outer Ring of NGC 1291
J. L. Hinz, C. W. Engelbracht, R. Skibba +18
We examine Herschel Space Observatory images of one nearby prototypical outer ring galaxy, NGC 1291, and show that the ring becomes more prominent at wavelengths longer than 160um.…
Mapping the cold dust temperatures and masses of nearby Kingfish galaxies with Herschel
M. Galametz, R. C. Kennicutt, M. Albrecht +18
Taking advantage of the sensitivity and angular resolution of the Herschel Space Observatory at far-infrared and submm wavelengths, we aim to characterize the physical properties o…
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…
Resolving the Far-IR Line Deficit: Photoelectric Heating and Far-IR Line Cooling in NGC 1097 and NGC 4559
Kevin V. Croxall, J. D. Smith, M. G. Wolfire +30
The physical state of interstellar gas and dust is dependent on the processes which heat and cool this medium. To probe heating and cooling of the ISM over a large range of infrare…
