Direct Oxygen Abundances for Low Luminosity LVL Galaxies
Danielle A. Berg, Evan D. Skillman, Andrew R. Marble +7
We present MMT spectroscopic observations of HII regions in 42 low luminosity galaxies in the LVL. For 31 galaxies, we measured the temperature sensitive [O III] line at a strength…
Modeling the Effects of Star Formation Histories on Halpha and Ultra-Violet Fluxes in Nearby Dwarf Galaxies
Daniel R. Weisz, Benjamin D. Johnson, L. Clifton Johnson +9
We consider the effects of non-constant star formation histories (SFHs) on Halpha and GALEX far ultra-violet (FUV) star formation rate (SFR) indicators. Under the assumption of a f…
A GALEX Ultraviolet Imaging Survey of Galaxies in the Local Volume
Janice C. Lee, Armando Gil de Paz, Robert C. Kennicutt +9
We present results from a GALEX ultraviolet (UV) survey of a complete sample of 390 galaxies within ~11 Mpc of the Milky Way. The UV data are a key component of the composite Local…
An Aromatic Inventory of the Local Volume
A. R. Marble, C. W. Engelbracht, L. van Zee +13
Using infrared photometry from the Spitzer Space Telescope, we perform the first inventory of aromatic feature emission (AFE, but also commonly referred to as PAH emission) for a s…
The Calibration of Monochromatic Far-Infrared Star Formation Rate Indicators
D. Calzetti, S. -Y. Wu, S. Hong +23
(Abridged) Spitzer data at 24, 70, and 160 micron and ground-based H-alpha images are analyzed for a sample of 189 nearby star-forming and starburst galaxies to investigate whether…
The WHIQII Survey: Metallicities and Spectroscopic Properties of Luminous Compact Blue Galaxies
Erik J. Tollerud, Elizabeth J. Barton, Liese van Zee +1
As part of the WIYN High Image Quality Indiana Irvine (WHIQII) survey, we present 123 spectra of emission-line galaxies, selected on intermediate redshift (.4<z<.8) galaxies with b…
Comparison of H-alpha and UV Star Formation Rates in the Local Volume: Systematic Discrepancies for Dwarf Galaxies
Janice C. Lee, Armando Gil de Paz, Christy Tremonti +14
(abridged) Using a complete sample of ~300 star-forming galaxies within 11 Mpc, we evaluate the consistency between star formation rates (SFRs) inferred from the far ultraviolet (F…
The Spitzer Local Volume Legacy: Survey Description and Infrared Photometry
D. A. Dale, S. A. Cohen, L. C. Johnson +21
The survey description and the near-, mid-, and far-infrared flux properties are presented for the 258 galaxies in the Local Volume Legacy (LVL). LVL is a Spitzer Space Telescope l…
