Spectral Mapping Reconstruction of Extended Sources

J. D. T. Smith, L. Armus, D. A. Dale +6

Three dimensional spectroscopy of extended sources is typically performed with dedicated integral field spectrographs. We describe a method of reconstructing full spectral cubes, w…

The Infrared Properties of Hickson Compact Groups

K. E. Johnson, J. E. Hibbard, S. C. Gallagher +4

Compact groups of galaxies provide a unique environment to study the mechanisms by which star formation occurs amid continuous gravitational encounters. We present 2MASS (JHK), Spi…

The Incidence of Highly-Obscured Star-Forming Regions in SINGS Galaxies

Moire K. M. Prescott, Robert C. Kennicutt, George J. Bendo +14

Using the new capabilities of the Spitzer Space Telescope and extensive multiwavelength data from the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey (SINGS), it is now possible to study t…

Chandra Observations of SN 2004et and the X-ray Emission of Type IIp Supernovae

J. Rho, T. H. Jarrett, N. N. Chugai +1

We report the X-ray detection of the Type II-plateau supernova SN 2004et in the spiral galaxy NGC 6946, using the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. The position of the X-ray source was fo…

Keck spectroscopy and Spitzer Space Telescope analysis of the outer disk of the Triangulum Spiral Galaxy M33

David L. Block, Francoise Combes, Ivanio Puerari +11

In an earlier study of the spiral galaxy M33, we photometrically identified arcs or outer spiral arms of intermediate age (0.6 Gyr - 2 Gyr) carbon stars precisely at the commenceme…

The Calibration of Mid-Infrared Star Formation Rate Indicators

D. Calzetti, R. C. Kennicutt, C. W. Engelbracht +25

With the goal of investigating the degree to which the mid-infrared emission traces the star formation rate (SFR), we analyze Spitzer 8 um and 24 um data of star-forming regions in…
