The Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) provides long-wavelength capability for the mission in imaging bands at 24, 70, and 160 μm and measurements of spectral energy distributions…
Star Formation in AEGIS Field Galaxies since z = 1.1: The Dominance of Gradually Declining Star Formation, and the Main Sequence of Star-forming Galaxies
We analyze star formation (SF) as a function of stellar mass (M*) and redshift z in the All-Wavelength Extended Groth Strip International Survey. For 2905 field galaxies, complete to 1010(1010.8) M☉…
Dust Masses, PAH Abundances, and Starlight Intensities in the SINGS Galaxy Sample
- B. Draine, D. Dale, H. Teplitz
- Physics
- 9 March 2007
Physical dust models are presented for 65 galaxies in SINGS that are strongly detected in the four IRAC bands and three MIPS bands. For each galaxy we estimate (1) the total dust mass, (2) the…
SINGS: The SIRTF Nearby Galaxies Survey
- R. Kennicutt, Jr., F. Walter
- Physics
- 1 May 2001
The SIRTF Nearby Galaxy Survey is a comprehensive infrared imaging and spectroscopic survey of 75 nearby galaxies. Its primary goal is to characterize the infrared emission of galaxies and their…
SDSS-III: MASSIVE SPECTROSCOPIC SURVEYS OF THE DISTANT UNIVERSE, THE MILKY WAY, AND EXTRA-SOLAR PLANETARY SYSTEMS
- D. Eisenstein, D. Weinberg, Bo Zhao
- Physics
- 1 December 2007
Building on the legacy of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-I and II), SDSS-III is a program of four spectroscopic surveys on three scientific themes: dark energy and cosmological parameters, the…
A Census of the Young Cluster IC 348
- K. Luhman, J. Stauffer, C. Lada
- Physics, Geology
- 23 April 2003
We present a new census of the stellar and substellar members of the young cluster IC 348. We have obtained images at I and Z for a 42′ × 28′ field encompassing the cluster and have combined these…

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large (6.6 m), cold (<50 K), infrared (IR)-optimized space observatory that will be launched early in the next decade into orbit around the second Earth–Sun…
The Anatomy of Star Formation in NGC 300
- G. Helou, H. Roussel, H. Smith
- Physics
- 13 August 2004
The Spitzer Space Telescope was used to study the mid- to far-infrared properties of NGC 300 and to compare dust emission to Hα to elucidate the heating of the interstellar medium (ISM) and the star…
