Abstract:
Combining the relative vicinity of the Local Group spiral galaxy M33
with the Spitzer images, we investigate the properties of infrared
(IR) emission sites and assess the reliability of the IR emission as
a star formation tracer.
The mid- and far-IR emission of M33 was obtained from IRAC and MIPS
images from the Spitzer archive. We compared the photometric results
for several samples of three known types of discrete sources (HII
regions, supernovae remnants and planetary nebulae) with theoretical
diagnostic diagrams, and derived the spectral energy distribution
(from 3.6 to 24µm) of each type of object. Moreover, we
generated a catalogue of 24µm sources and inferred their nature
from the observed and theoretical colours of the known type sources.
We estimated the star formation rate in M33 both globally and
locally, from the IR emission and from the Halpha emission line.
Description:
We retrieved images from the Guaranteed Time Observations (PID 5,
PI R. Gehrz) in the Spitzer Space Telescope data archive.
