The 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 کاملUltraviolet–to–far-infrared Properties of Local Star-forming Galaxies
We present the results of a multiwavelength study of nearby galaxies aimed at understanding the relation between the ultraviolet and far-infrared emission in star-forming galaxies. The data set comprises new ultraviolet (from HST STIS), ground-based H , and radio continuum observations, together with archival infrared data (from IRAS and ISO). The local galaxies are used as benchmarks for compa...
متن کاملInfrared Properties of Star Forming Dwarf Galaxies : II . Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
A sample of 16 blue compact dwarf galaxies (BCDs) in the Virgo Cluster has been imaged in the near-infrared (NIR) in J and K s on the 2.1m telescope at OAN-SPM in Mexico. Isophotes as faint as µ J = 24 mag arcsec −2 and µ Ks = 23 mag arcsec −2 have been reached in most of the targets. Surface brightness profiles can be fitted across the whole range of radii by the sum of two components: a hyper...
متن کاملIRAC Excess in Distant Star-Forming Galaxies: Tentative Evidence for the 3.3μm Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Feature ?
We present evidence for the existence of an IRAC excess in the spectral energy distribution (SED) of 5 galaxies at 0.6 < z < 0.9 and 1 galaxy at z = 1.7. These 6 galaxies, located in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey field (GOODS-N), are star forming since they present strong 6.2, 7.7, and, 11.3μm polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) lines in their Spitzer IRS mid-infrared spectra. W...
متن کاملStar-forming Complexes in Galaxies
Star complexes are the largest globular regions of star formation in galaxies. If there is a spiral density wave, nuclear ring, tidal arm, or other welldefined stellar structure, then gravitational instabilities in the gaseous component produce giant cloud complexes with a spacing of about three times the width. These gas complexes form star complexes, giving the familiar beads on a string of s...
