A Semi-Empirical Model of the Infrared Emission from Galaxies
We present a semi-empirical model for the infrared emission of dust around star-forming sites in galaxies. Our approach combines a simple model of radiative transfer in dust clouds with a state-of-the-art model of the microscopic optical properties of dust grains pioneered by Draine & Li. In combination with the STARBURST99 stellar spectral synthesis package, this framework is able to produce s...
متن کاملA Simple Model For Mid-Infrared Emission from Normal Galaxies
We have combined up-to-date stellar population synthesis models, a simple radiative transfer approach, and a fully comprehensive dust model with the aim of developing a simple but quantitative way of interpreting the midinfrared spectra of galaxies. We apply these models to the observed correlations of mid-infrared luminosities (at 8 and 24μm) with the star-formation rate of normal galaxies and...
متن کاملPah Emission from Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies
We explore the relationships between the Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) feature strengths, mid-infrared continuum luminosities, far-infrared spectral slopes, optical spectroscopic classifications, and silicate optical depths within a sample of 107 ULIRGs observed with the Infrared Spectrograph on the Spitzer Space Telescope. The detected 6.2 μm PAH equivalent widths (EQWs) in the sample ...
متن کاملThe nature of near-infrared emission from spiral galaxies
We present K-band spectroscopy for several regions of three nearby spiral galaxies, NGC 613, NGC 628 and NGC 7741. Analysis of the depth of the 2.293 μm CO absorption feature in these spectra reveals that some regions have deep absorptions, indicative of recent star formation, while others have anomalously shallow absorptions. We interpret the latter as evidence for a significant but localised ...
متن کاملA simple model to interpret the ultraviolet, optical and infrared emission from galaxies
We present a simple, largely empirical but physically motivated model to interpret the midand far-infrared spectral energy distributions of galaxies consistently with the emission at ultraviolet, optical and near-infrared wavelengths. Our model relies on an existing angle-averaged prescription to compute the absorption of starlight by dust in stellar birth clouds and in the ambient interstellar...
