The Shape of Dark Matter Haloes IV. The Structure of Stellar Discs in Edge-on Galaxies
S. P. C. Peters, G. de Geyter, P. C. van der Kruit +1
We present optical and near-infrared archival observations of eight edge-on galaxies. These observations are used to model the stellar content of each galaxy using the FitSKIRT sof…
HERschel Observations of Edge-on Spirals (HEROES). III. Dust energy balance study of IC 2531
Aleksandr V. Mosenkov, Flor Allaert, Maarten Baes +11
We investigate the dust energy balance for the edge-on galaxy IC 2531, one of the seven galaxies in the HEROES sample. We perform a state-of-the-art radiative transfer modelling ba…
Large and small-scale structures and the dust energy balance problem in spiral galaxies
W. Saftly, M. Baes, G. De Geyter +4
The interstellar dust content in galaxies can be traced in extinction at optical wavelengths, or in emission in the far-infrared. Several studies have found that radiative transfer…
The distribution of interstellar dust in CALIFA edge-on galaxies via oligochromatic radiative transfer fitting
Gert De Geyter, Maarten Baes, Peter Camps +5
We investigate the amount and spatial distribution of interstellar dust in edge-on spiral galaxies, using detailed radiative transfer modeling of a homogeneous sample of 12 galaxie…
FitSKIRT: genetic algorithms to automatically fit dusty galaxies with a Monte Carlo radiative transfer code
Gert De Geyter, Maarten Baes, Jacopo Fritz +1
We present FitSKIRT, a method to efficiently fit radiative transfer models to UV/optical images of dusty galaxies. These images have the advantage that they have better spatial res…
