The Herschel Exploitation of Local Galaxy Andromeda (HELGA) VII: A SKIRT radiative transfer model and insights on dust heating

S. Viaene, M. Baes, A. Tamm +17

The radiation of stars heats dust grains in the diffuse interstellar medium and in star-forming regions in galaxies. Modelling this interaction provides information on dust in gala…

The bolometric and UV attenuation in normal spiral galaxies of the Herschel Reference Survey

S. Viaene, M. Baes, G. Bendo +11

The dust in nearby galaxies absorbs a fraction of the UV-optical-near-infrared radiation produced by stars. This energy is consequently re-emitted in the infrared. We investigate t…

The relationship between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission and far-infrared dust emission from NGC 2403 and M83

A. G. Jones, G. J. Bendo, M. Baes +13

We examine the relation between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission at 8 microns and far-infrared emission from hot dust grains at 24 microns and from large dust grains…

The identification of dust heating mechanisms in nearby galaxies using Herschel 160/250 and 250/350 micron surface brightness ratios

G. J. Bendo, M. Baes, S. Bianchi +15

We examined variations in the 160/250 and 250/350 micron surface brightness ratios within 24 nearby (<30 Mpc) face-on spiral galaxies observed with the Herschel Space Observatory t…

The Herschel Exploitation of Local Galaxy Andromeda (HELGA): IV. Dust scaling relations at sub-kpc resolution

S. Viaene, J. Fritz, M. Baes +18

The imprints of dust-starlight interactions are visible in scaling relations between stellar characteristics, star formation parameters and dust properties. We aim to examine dust…

PACS photometry of the Herschel Reference Survey - Far-infrared/sub-millimeter colours as tracers of dust properties in nearby galaxies

L. Cortese, J. Fritz, S. Bianchi +26

We present Herschel/PACS 100 and 160 micron integrated photometry for the 323 galaxies in the Herschel Reference Survey (HRS), a K-band-, volume-limited sample of galaxies in the l…

Cold dust but warm gas in the unusual elliptical galaxy NGC 4125

C. D. Wilson, A. Cridland, K. Foyle +19

Data from the Herschel Space Observatory have revealed an unusual elliptical galaxy, NGC 4125, which has strong and extended submillimeter emission from cold dust but only very str…

The Herschel Exploitation of Local Galaxy Andromeda (HELGA). VI. The distribution and properties of molecular cloud associations in M31

Jason M. Kirk, Walter K. Gear, Jacopo Fritz +18

In this paper we present a catalogue of Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs) in the Andromeda (M31) galaxy extracted from the Hershel Exploitation of Local Galaxy Andromeda (HELGA) datase…

Submillimetre Photometry of 323 Nearby Galaxies from the Herschel Reference Survey

L. Ciesla, A. Boselli, M. W. L. Smith +23

The Herschel Reference Survey (HRS) is a guaranteed time Herschel key project aimed at studying the physical properties of the interstellar medium in galaxies of the nearby univers…

The Herschel Exploitation of Local Galaxy Andromeda (HELGA) II: Dust and Gas in Andromeda

M. W. L. Smith, S. A. Eales, H. L. Gomez +26

We present an analysis of the dust and gas in Andromeda, using Herschel images sampling the entire far-infrared peak. We fit a modified-blackbody model to ~4000 quasi-independent p…

The Herschel Exploitation of Local Galaxy Andromeda (HELGA). I: Global far-infrared and sub-mm morphology

J. Fritz, G. Gentile, M. W. L. Smith +30

We have obtained Herschel images at five wavelengths from 100 to 500 micron of a ~5.5x2.5 degree area centred on the local galaxy M31 (Andromeda), our nearest neighbour spiral gala…

The Herschel Reference Survey: Dust in Early-Type Galaxies and Across the Hubble Sequence

M. W. L. Smith, H. L. Gomez, S. A. Eales +24

We present Herschel observations of 62 Early-Type Galaxies (ETGs), including 39 galaxies morphologically classified as S0+S0a and 23 galaxies classified as ellipticals using SPIRE…

Investigations of dust heating in M81, M83, and NGC 2403 with the Herschel Space Observatory

G. J. Bendo, A. Boselli, A. Dariush +21

We use Spitzer Space Telescope and Herschel Space Observatory far-infrared data along with ground-based optical and near-infrared data to understand how dust heating in the nearby…
