Radial distribution of gas and dust in spiral galaxies *
By combining Herschel-SPIRE data with archival Spitzer, H i , and CO maps, we investigate the spatial distribution of gas and dust in the two famous grand-design spirals M 99 and M 100 in the Virgo cluster. Thanks to the unique resolution and sensitivity of the Herschel-SPIRE photometer, we are for the first time able to measure the distribution and extent of cool, submillimetre (submm)-emittin...
متن کاملExtraplanar Dust: a Tracer of Cold Dense Gas in the Thick Disks of Spiral Galaxies
The interstellar thick disks of galaxies contain not only gas, but significant quantities of dust. Most of our knowledge of extraplanar dust in disk galaxies comes from direct broadband optical imaging of these systems, wherein the dust is identified due to the irregular extinction it produces against the thick disk and bulge stars. This observational technique is sensitive to only the most den...
متن کاملGalaxy Zoo: Dust and molecular gas in early-type galaxies with prominent dust lanes,
We explore the properties of dust and associated molecular gas in 352 nearby (0.01 < z < 0.07) early-type galaxies (ETGs) with prominent dust lanes, drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Two-thirds of these ‘dusty ETGs’ (D-ETGs) are morphologically disturbed, which suggests a merger origin, making these galaxies ideal test beds for studying the merger process at low redshift. The D-ET...
متن کاملProperties of dust in early-type galaxies
We report optical extinction properties of dust for a sample of 26 early-type galaxies based on the analysis of their multicolour CCD observations. The wavelength dependence of dust extinction for these galaxies is determined and the extinction curves are found to run parallel to the Galactic extinction curve, which implies that the properties of dust in the extragalactic environment are quite ...
متن کاملVery cold dust in galaxies
We present multi–filter far infrared photometry of active and inactive galaxies obtained with ISOPHOT. We find that the far infrared and submillimeter spectrum of the active galaxies can be described by a single modified black–body at a color temperature of 31.5 ± 2.8K. The ratio of infrared luminosity to gas mass, LIR/Mgas, where the latter quantity has been obtained from 1.3 mm observations w...
