STAR FORMATION IN GALAXIES ALONG THE HUBBLE SEQUENCE
- R. Kennicutt, Jr..
- Physics
- 17 July 1998
Observations of star formation rates (SFRs) in galaxies provide vital clues to the physical nature of the Hubble sequence and are key probes of the evolutionary histories of galaxies. The focus of… Expand
Final Results from the Hubble Space Telescope Key Project to Measure the Hubble Constant
- W. Freedman, B. Madore, +13 authors P. Stetson
- Physics
- 18 December 2000
We present here the final results of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Key Project to measure the Hubble constant. We summarize our method, the results, and the uncertainties, tabulate our revised… Expand
The mid-infrared spectrum of star-forming galaxies: Global properties of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission
- J. T. Smith, B. Draine, +16 authors F. Walter
- Physics
- 30 October 2006
We present a sample of low-resolution 5-38 μm Spitzer IRS spectra of the inner few square kiloparsecs of 59 nearby galaxies spanning a large range of star formation properties. A robust method for… Expand
THINGS:THE HI NEARBY GALAXY SURVEY
We present The H I Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS), a high spectral (≤5.2 km s–1) and spatial (~6'') resolution survey of H I emission in 34 nearby galaxies obtained using the NRAO Very Large Array… Expand
SINGS: The SIRTF Nearby Galaxies Survey
- R. Kennicutt, Jr.., +21 authors 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… Expand
DUST-CORRECTED STAR FORMATION RATES OF GALAXIES. II. COMBINATIONS OF ULTRAVIOLET AND INFRARED TRACERS
- C. Hao, R. Kennicutt, +4 authors J. Moustakas
- Physics
- 14 August 2011
We present new calibrations of far-ultraviolet (FUV) attenuation as derived from the total infrared to FUV luminosity ratio (IRX) and the FUV-near-UV(NUV) color. We find that the IRX-corrected FUV… Expand
OPTICAL SPECTROSCOPY AND NEBULAR OXYGEN ABUNDANCES OF THE SPITZER/SINGS GALAXIES
- J. Moustakas, R. Kennicutt, +4 authors D. Calzetti
- Physics
- 26 July 2010
We present intermediate-resolution optical spectrophotometry of 65 galaxies obtained in support of the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey (SINGS). For each galaxy we obtain a nuclear,… Expand
Dust-corrected Star Formation Rates of Galaxies. I. Combinations of Hα and Infrared Tracers
- R. Kennicutt, Jr.., +7 authors J. Lee
- Physics
- 3 August 2009
We combine Halpha emission-line and infrared (IR) continuum measurements of two samples of nearby galaxies to derive dust attenuation-corrected star formation rates (SFRs). We use a simple energy… Expand
Star Formation Thresholds in Galactic Disks
- C. Martin, R. Kennicutt, Jr..
- Physics
- 13 March 2001
We report the first results of a detailed study of the star formation law in a sample of 32 nearby spiral galaxies with well-measured rotation curves, H I and H_2 (as traced by CO) surface density… Expand
Brane dynamics from the Born-Infeld action
- C. Callan, Jr.., J. Maldacena
- Physics
- 27 August 1997
Abstract We use the abelian Born-Infeld action for the world-volume gauge field and transverse displacement scalars to explore new aspects of D-brane structure and dynamics. We study several classic… Expand
