Far-infrared Emission from Dust in Normal Galaxies

چکیده
We review the morphological and spectral energy distribution characteristics of the dust continuum emission (emitted in the 40-200μm spectral range) from normal galaxies, as revealed by detailed ISOPHOT mapping observations of nearby spirals and by ISOPHOT observations of the integrated emissions from representative statistical samples in the local universe.

Near-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 کاملThe Infrared Spectral Energy Distribution of Normal Star-Forming Galaxies
We present a new phenomenological model for the spectral energy distribution of normal star-forming galaxies between 3 and 1100 μm. A sequence of realistic galaxy spectra are constructed from a family of dust emission curves assuming a power law distribution of dust mass over a wide range of interstellar radiation fields. For each interstellar radiation field heating intensity we combine emissi...
متن کاملNormal Gas-Rich Galaxies in the Far-Infrared: The Legacy of ISOPHOT
Following on from IRAS, the ISOPHOT instrument on board the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) has provided a huge advancement in our knowledge of the phenomenology of the far-infrared (FIR) emission of normal galaxies and the underlying physical processes. Highlights include: the discovery of an extended cold dust emission component, present in all types of gas-rich galaxies and carrying the bul...
متن کاملFar Infrared Emission from Galaxy Clusters and Early-Type Galaxies
Infrared emission has been detected from normal elliptical galaxies and from clusters of galaxies at 60μm and 100μm with the IRAS satellite. In both cases, the emission has the characteristics of cool dust with a temperature near 30K. For the elliptical galaxies, there is a correlation between the optical luminosities and the far infrared luminosities. The likely source of the dust in these sys...
متن کاملFar-infrared colours of nearby late-type galaxies in the Herschel Reference Survey⋆⋆⋆
We study the far infrared (60–500 μm) colours of late-type galaxies in the Herschel Reference Survey, a K-band selected, volume limited sample of nearby galaxies. The far infrared colours are correlated with each other, with tighter correlations for the indices that are closer in wavelength. We also compare the different colour indices to various tracers of the physical properties of the target...
