Abstract:
New far-infrared and submillimeter photometry from the Herschel Space
Observatory is presented for 61 nearby galaxies from the Key Insights
on Nearby Galaxies: A Far-Infrared Survey with Herschel (KINGFISH)
sample. The spatially integrated fluxes are largely consistent with
expectations based on Spitzer far-infrared photometry and
extrapolations to longer wavelengths using popular dust emission
models. Dwarf irregular galaxies are notable exceptions, as already
noted by other authors, as their 500µm emission shows evidence for
a submillimeter excess. In addition, the fraction of dust heating
attributed to intense radiation fields associated with
photodissociation regions is found to be (21±4)% larger when
Herschel data are included in the analysis. Dust masses obtained from
the dust emission models of Draine & Li (2007ApJ...657..810D 2007ApJ...657..810D) are
found to be on average nearly a factor of two higher than those based
on single-temperature modified blackbodies, as single blackbody curves
do not capture the full range of dust temperatures inherent to any
galaxy. The discrepancy is largest for galaxies exhibiting the coolest
far-infrared colors.
Description:
The observational program and data processing procedures for KINGFISH
are described in detail in Engelbracht et al. (2010A&A...518L..56E 2010A&A...518L..56E),
Sandstrom et al. (2010A&A...518L..59S 2010A&A...518L..59S). All 61 KINGFISH galaxies were
imaged with Herschel PACS and SPIRE. See section 3 or corrections that
have been applied to the data.
