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…

CALIFA, the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area survey. II. First public data release

CALIFA collaboration, B. Husemann, K. Jahnke +74

We present the first public data release of the CALIFA survey. It consists of science-grade optical datacubes for the first 100 of eventually 600 nearby (0.005<z<0.03) galaxies, ob…

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.…

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…

Converting From 3.6 and 4.5 Micron Fluxes to Stellar Mass

Michael R. Eskew, Dennis F. Zaritsky, Sharon E. Meidt

We use high spatial resolution maps of stellar mass and infrared flux of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) to calibrate a conversion between 3.6 and 4.5 micron fluxes and stellar ma…

The S4G perspective on circumstellar dust extinction of AGB stars in M100

Sharon E. Meidt, Eva Schinnerer, Juan-Carlos Munoz-Mateos +19

We examine the effect of circumstellar dust extinction on the near-IR contribution of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in intermediate-age clusters throughout the disk of M100.…
