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
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
H II regions and the abundance properties of spiral galaxies
- D. Zaritsky, R. Kennicutt, J. Huchra
- Physics
- 1994
We investigate the relationships between the characteristic oxygen abundance, the radial abundance gradient, and the macroscopic properties of spiral galaxies by examining the properties of… 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
The Calibration of Mid-Infrared Star Formation Rate Indicators
- D. Calzetti, R. Kennicutt, +38 authors B. University
- Physics
- 23 May 2007
With the goal of investigating the degree to which the MIR emission traces the SFR, we analyze Spitzer 8 and 24 μm data of star-forming regions in a sample of 33 nearby galaxies with available HST… Expand
Dust Masses, PAH Abundances, and Starlight Intensities in the SINGS Galaxy Sample
- B. Draine, D. Dale, +17 authors 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… Expand
Secular Evolution and the Formation of Pseudobulges in Disk Galaxies
- J. Kormendy, R. Kennicutt
- Physics
- 16 July 2004
▪ Abstract The Universe is in transition. At early times, galactic evolution was dominated by hierarchical clustering and merging, processes that are violent and rapid. In the far future, evolution… Expand
CALIBRATING EXTINCTION-FREE STAR FORMATION RATE DIAGNOSTICS WITH 33 GHz FREE-FREE EMISSION IN NGC 6946
Using free-free emission measured in the Ka band (26-40 GHz) for 10 star-forming regions in the nearby galaxy NGC 6946, including its starbursting nucleus, we compare a number of star formation rate… 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
