The CO-to-H2 Conversion Factor and Dust-to-Gas Ratio on Kiloparsec Scales in Nearby Galaxies
K. M. Sandstrom, A. K. Leroy, F. Walter +42
We present kiloparsec (kpc) spatial resolution maps of the CO-to-H2 conversion factor (alpha_co) and dust-to-gas ratio (DGR) in 26 nearby, star-forming galaxies. We have simultaneo…
Breaks in thin and thick discs of edge-on galaxies imaged in the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G)
Sébastien Comerón, Bruce G. Elmegreen, Heikki Salo +17
Breaks in the radial luminosity profiles of galaxies have been until now mostly studied averaged over discs. Here we study separately breaks in thin and thick discs in 70 edge-on g…
A unified picture of breaks and truncations in spiral galaxies from SDSS and S^{4}G imaging
Ignacio Martín-Navarro, Judit Bakos, Ignacio Trujillo +21
The mechanism causing breaks in the radial surface brightness distribution of spiral galaxies is not yet well known. Despite theoretical efforts, there is not a unique explanation…
Hα Kinematics of S4G spiral galaxies-I. NGC 864
Santiago Erroz-Ferrer, Johan H. Knapen, Joan Font +22
We present a study of the kinematics of the isolated spiral galaxy NGC 864, using Hα Fabry-Perot data obtained with the GHαFaS instrument at the William Herschel Telescope in La Pa…
Modeling Dust and Starlight in Galaxies Observed by Spitzer and Herschel: NGC 628 and NGC 6946
G. Aniano, B. T. Draine, D. Calzetti +26
We characterize the dust in NGC628 and NGC6946, two nearby spiral galaxies in the KINGFISH sample. With data from 3.6um to 500um, dust models are strongly constrained. Using the Dr…
Cool Dust in the Outer Ring of NGC 1291
J. L. Hinz, C. W. Engelbracht, R. Skibba +18
We examine Herschel Space Observatory images of one nearby prototypical outer ring galaxy, NGC 1291, and show that the ring becomes more prominent at wavelengths longer than 160um.…
