We present far-infrared (FIR) photometry at 150 and 205 μm of eight low-redshift starburst galaxies obtained with the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) ISOPHOT. Five of the eight galaxies are detected in both wave bands, and these data are used, in conjunction with IRAS archival photometry, to model the dust emission at λ ≳ 40 μm. The FIR spectral energy distributions (SEDs) are best fitted by a combination of two modified Planck functions, with T ~ 40-55 K (warm dust) and T ~ 20-23 K (cool dust…
