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…

A z=0 Multi-wavelength Galaxy Synthesis I: A WISE and GALEX Atlas of Local Galaxies

Adam K. Leroy, Karin M. Sandstrom, Dustin Lang +8

We present an atlas of ultraviolet and infrared images of ~15,750 local (d < 50 Mpc) galaxies, as observed by NASA's WISE and GALEX missions. These maps have matched resolution (FW…

Mapping electron temperature variations across a spiral arm in NGC 1672

I-Ting Ho, Kathryn Kreckel, Sharon E. Meidt +17

We report one of the first extragalactic observations of electron temperature variations across a spiral arm. Using MUSE mosaic observations of the nearby galaxy NGC 1672, we measu…

Mapping metallicity variations across nearby galaxy disks

K. Kreckel, I. -T. Ho, G. A. Blanc +21

The distribution of metals within a galaxy traces the baryon cycle and the buildup of galactic disks, but the detailed gas phase metallicity distribution remains poorly sampled. We…

The Life Cycle of Dust

Sarah Sadavoy, Mikako Matsuura, Lee Armus +24

Dust offers a unique probe of the interstellar medium (ISM) across multiple size, density, and temperature scales. Dust is detected in outflows of evolved stars, star-forming molec…

The Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Mass Fraction on a 10 pc scale in the Magellanic Clouds

Jeremy Chastenet, Karin Sandstrom, I-Da Chiang +8

We present maps of the dust properties in the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds (SMC, LMC) from fitting Spitzer and Herschel observations with the \citet{DL07} dust model. We deriv…

Astro2020 Science White Paper: Cold Gas Outflows, Feedback, and the Shaping of Galaxies

Alberto D. Bolatto, Lee Armus, Sylvain Veilleux +12

There is wide consensus that galaxy outflows are one of the most important processes determining the evolution of galaxies through cosmic time, for example playing a key role in sh…

Mapping Gas Phase Abundances and Enrichment Patterns Across Galaxy Disks

Kathryn Kreckel, Danielle Berg, Guillermo A. Blanc +12

The distribution of gas-phase abundances in galaxy disks encodes the history of nucleosynthesis and transport through the interstellar medium (ISM) over cosmic time. Multi-object a…

The Resolved Distributions of Dust Mass and Temperature in Local Group Galaxies

Dyas Utomo, I-Da Chiang, Adam K. Leroy +2

We utilize archival far-infrared maps from the Herschel Space Observatory in four Local Group galaxies (Small and Large Magellanic Clouds, M31, and M33). We model their Spectral En…

Calibrating star-formation rate prescriptions at different scales (10 pc to 1 kpc) in M31

Neven Tomicic, I-Ting Ho, Kathryn Kreckel +9

We calibrate commonly used star formation rate (SFR) prescriptions using observations in five kpc-sized fields in the nearby galaxy Andromeda (M31) at 10\,pc spatial resolution. Ou…

METAL: The Metal Evolution, Transport, and Abundance in the Large Magellanic Cloud Hubble program. I. Overview and Initial Results

Julia Roman-Duval, Edward B. Jenkins, Benjamin Williams +8

Metal Evolution, Transport, and Abundance in the LMC (METAL) is a large Cycle 24 program on the Hubble Space Telescope aimed at measuring dust extinction properties and interstella…
