The Impact of an AGN on PAH Emission in Galaxies: the Case of Ring Galaxy NGC 4138
G. P. Donnelly, J. D. T. Smith, B. T. Draine +5
We present a focused study of radially-resolved varying PAH emission in the low-luminosity AGN-host NGC 4138 using deep Spitzer/IRS spectral maps. Using new model PAH spectra, we i…
Modeling Dust and Starlight in Galaxies Observed by Spitzer and Herschel: The KINGFISH Sample
G. Aniano, B. T. Draine, L. K. Hunt +30
Dust and starlight are modeled for the KINGFISH project galaxies. With data from 3.6 micron to 500 micron, models are strongly constrained. For each pixel in each galaxy we estimat…
Thermal Pressure in the Cold Neutral Medium of Nearby Galaxies
R. Herrera-Camus, A. Bolatto, M. Wolfire +14
Dynamic and thermal processes regulate the structure of the multi-phase interstellar medium (ISM), and ultimately establish how galaxies evolve through star formation. Thus, to con…
The Spatially Resolved [CII] Cooling Line Deficit in Galaxies
J. D. T. Smith, Kevin Croxall, Bruce Draine +17
We present [CII] 158um measurements from over 15,000 resolved regions within 54 nearby galaxies of the KINGFISH program to investigate the so-called [CII] "line cooling deficit" lo…
The Ionized Gas in Nearby Galaxies as Traced by the [NII] 122 and 205 μm Transitions
R. Herrera-Camus, A. Bolatto, J. D. Smith +20
The [NII] 122 and 205 μm transitions are powerful tracers of the ionized gas in the interstellar medium. By combining data from 21 galaxies selected from the Herschel KINGFISH and…
[CII] 158 m Emission as a Star Formation Tracer
R. Herrera-Camus, A. D. Bolatto, M. G. Wolfire +23
The [CII] 157.74 m transition is the dominant coolant of the neutral interstellar gas, and has great potential as a star formation rate (SFR) tracer. Using the Herschel KINGFISH…
