On the origin of M81 group extended dust emission
J. I. Davies, C. D. Wilson, R. Auld +57
Galactic cirrus emission at far-infrared wavelengths affects many extragalactic observations. Separating this emission from that associated with extragalactic objects is both impor…
The JCMT Nearby Galaxies Legacy Survey IV. Velocity Dispersions in the Molecular Interstellar Medium in Spiral Galaxies
C. D. Wilson, B. E. Warren, J. Irwin +21
An analysis of large-area CO J=3-2 maps from the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope for 12 nearby spiral galaxies reveals low velocity dispersions in the molecular component of the inte…
Radial distribution of gas and dust in the two spiral galaxies M99 and M100
M. Pohlen, L. Cortese, M. W. L. Smith +55
By combining Herschel-SPIRE data with archival Spitzer, HI, and CO maps, we investigate the spatial distribution of gas and dust in the two famous grand-design spirals M99 and M100…
Probing the molecular interstellar medium of M82 with Herschel-SPIRE spectroscopy
P. Panuzzo, N. Rangwala, A. Rykala +60
We present the observations of the starburst galaxy M82 taken with the Herschel SPIRE Fourier Transform Spectrometer. The spectrum (194-671 μm) shows a prominent CO rotational ladd…
The central region of spiral galaxies as seen by Herschel. M81, M99 and M100
M. Sauvage, N. Sacchi, G. J. Bendo +57
With appropriate spatial resolution, images of spiral galaxies in thermal infrared (~10 micron and beyond) often reveal a bright central component, distinct from the stellar bulge,…
The dust morphology of the elliptical Galaxy M86 with SPIRE
H. L. Gomez, M. Baes, L. Cortese +58
We present Herschel-SPIRE observations at 250-500um of the giant elliptical galaxy M86 and examine the distribution of the resolved cold dust emission and its relation with other g…
SPIRE imaging of M82: cool dust in the wind and tidal streams
H. Roussel, C. D. Wilson, L. Vigroux +57
M82 is a unique representative of a whole class of galaxies, starbursts with superwinds, in the Very Nearby Galaxy Survey with Herschel. In addition, its interaction with the M81 g…
The Herschel Reference Survey
A. Boselli, S. Eales, L. Cortese +53
The Herschel Reference Survey is a guaranteed time Herschel key project and will be a benchmark study of dust in the nearby universe. The survey will complement a number of other H…
