Dust-corrected surface photometry of M 31 from Spitzer far-infrared observations
@article{Tempel2010DustcorrectedSP, title={Dust-corrected surface photometry of M 31 from Spitzer far-infrared observations}, author={Elmo Tempel and Antti Tamm and Peeter Tenjes}, journal={Astronomy and Astrophysics}, year={2010}, volume={509} }
Aims. We create a model for recovering the intrinsic, absorption-corrected surface brightness distribution of a galaxy and apply the model to the nearby galaxy M 31. Methods. We constructed a galactic model as a superposition of axially symmetric stellar components and a dust disc to analyse the intrinsic absorption effects. Dust column density is assumed to be proportional to the far-infrared flux of the galaxy. Along each line of sight, the observed far-infrared spectral energy distribution…
