An atlas of mid-infrared dust emission in spiral galaxies
نویسنده
چکیده
We present maps of dust emission at 7μm and 15μm/7μm intensity ratios of selected regions in 43 spiral galaxies observed with ISOCAM. This atlas is a complement to studies based on these observations, dealing with star formation in centers of barred galaxies and in spiral disks. It is accompanied by a detailed description of data reduction and an inventory of generic morphological properties in groups defined according to bar strength and HI gas content.

The relationship between star formation rates and mid - infrared emission in galactic disks ⋆
Your thesaurus codes are: missing; you have not inserted them ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS The relationship between star formation rates and mid-infrared emission in galactic disks Abstract. The Hα and mid-infrared mean disk surface brightnesses are compared in a sample of nearby spirals observed by ISOCAM. This shows that, in spiral disks, dust emission at 7 and 15 µm provides a reasonable star ...
متن کاملFeeding the central engine in giant radio galaxies
Giant radio galaxies are thought to be massive ellipticals powered by accretion of interstellar matter onto a supermassive black hole. Interactions with gas rich galaxies may provide the interstellar matter to feed the active galactic nucleus (AGN). To power radio lobes that extend up to distances of hundreds of kiloparsecs, gas has to be funneled from kiloparsec size scales down to the AGN at ...
متن کاملSpitzer Imaging of nearby ULIRGs and their Progeny: Fine-Structure Elliptical Galaxies
We present results from two mid-infrared imaging programs of ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) and fine-structure elliptical galaxies. The former are known to nearly all be recent mergers between two gas-rich spiral galaxies, while the latter are also believed to be even more aged merger remnants. An examination of these two classes of objects, which may represent different stages of the...
متن کاملNear-infrared Observations of Iras Minisurvey Galaxies
Near-infrared photometry at /, H, and K has been obtained for 82 galaxies from the IRAS minisurvey, a sample of infrared-selected galaxies. The near-infrared colors of these galaxies are similar to those of normal field spiral galaxies, but cover a larger range inJ — H and H — K. There is evidence of a tighter correlation between the nearand far-infrared emission than exists between the far-inf...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Predictions of Far-Infrared Emission from Spiral Galaxies
We present simulations of Far Infrared (FIR) emission by dust in spiral galaxies, based on the Monte Carlo radiative transfer code of Bianchi, Ferrara & Giovanardi (1996). The radiative transfer is carried out at several wavelength in the Ultraviolet (UV), optical and Near Infrared (NIR), to cover the range of the stellar Spectral Energy Distribution (SED). Together with the images of the galac...
