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
The Global Schmidt law in star forming galaxies
- R. Kennicutt, Jr.
- Physics
- 16 December 1997
Measurements of Hα, H I, and CO distributions in 61 normal spiral galaxies are combined with published far-infrared and CO observations of 36 infrared-selected starburst galaxies, in order to study… 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 Milky Way Tomography with SDSS. I. Stellar Number Density Distribution
Using the photometric parallax method we estimate the distances to ~48 million stars detected by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and map their three-dimensional number density distribution in the… 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
Evolution since Z = 0.5 of the morphology-density relation for clusters of galaxies
- A. Dressler, A. Oemler, +6 authors Bianca M. PoggiantiRay M. Sharples
- Physics
- 21 July 1997
Using traditional morphological classifications of galaxies in 10 intermediate-redshift (z similar to 0.5) clusters observed with WFPC2 on the Hubble Space Telescope, we derive relations between… 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
