Abstract:
We present Herschel/PACS 100 and 160µm integrated photometry for
the 323 galaxies in the Herschel Reference Survey (HRS), a K-band,
volume-limited sample of galaxies in the local Universe. Once combined
with the Herschel/SPIRE observations already available, these data
make the HRS the largest representative sample of nearby galaxies with
homogeneous coverage across the 100-500µm wavelength range. In this
paper, we take advantage of this unique data set to investigate the
properties and shape of the far-infrared/submillimetre spectral energy
distribution in nearby galaxies. We show that, in the stellar mass
range covered by the HRS (8≲log(M*/M☉)≲12), the
far-infrared/submillimetre colours are inconsistent with a single
modified blackbody having the same dust emissivity index β for
all galaxies. In particular, either β decreases or multiple
temperature components are needed, when moving from
metal-rich/gas-poor to metal-poor/gas-rich galaxies. We thus
investigate how the dust temperature and mass obtained from a single
modified blackbody depend on the assumptions made on β. We show
that, while the correlations between dust temperature, galaxy
structure and star formation rate are strongly model dependent, the
dust mass scaling relations are much more reliable, and variations of
β only change the strength of the observed trends.
Description:
The Herschel/PACS 100 and 160um observations of HRS galaxies
presented in this work have been obtained as part of various opentime
Herschel projects.
