Star Formation Rates in Resolved Galaxies: Calibrations with Near and Far Infrared Data for NGC5055 and NGC6946

Yiming Li, Alison F. Crocker, Daniela Calzetti +21

We use the near--infrared Brγhydrogen recombination line as a reference star formation rate (SFR) indicator to test the validity and establish the calibration of the {\it Herschel}…

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…

KINGFISH -- Key Insights on Nearby Galaxies: A Far-Infrared Survey with Herschel: Survey Description and Image Atlas

R. C. Kennicutt, D. Calzetti, G. Aniano +40

The KINGFISH project (Key Insights on Nearby Galaxies: a Far-Infrared Survey with Herschel) is an imaging and spectroscopic survey of 61 nearby (d < 30 Mpc) galaxies, chosen to cov…

The Star Formation Rate Distribution Function of the Local Universe

M. S. Bothwell, R. C. Kennicutt, B. D. Johnson +6

We present total infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) luminosity functions derived from large representative samples of galaxies at z ~ 0, selected at IR and UV wavelengths from the…

The Displaced Dusty ISM of NGC 3077: Tidal Stripping in the M 81 Triplet

Fabian Walter, Karin Sandstrom, G. Aniano +32

We present the detection of extended (~30 kpc^2) dust emission in the tidal \hi\ arm near NGC 3077 (member of the M\,81 triplet) using SPIRE on board Herschel. Dust emission in the…

Total Infrared Luminosity Estimation of Resolved and Unresolved Galaxies

M. Boquien, G. Bendo, D. Calzetti +6

The total infrared (TIR) luminosity from galaxies can be used to examine both star formation and dust physics. We provide here new relations to estimate the TIR luminosity from var…
