Herschel -ATLAS/GAMA : Dusty early-type galaxies and passive spirals
(2012)
We present the dust properties and star-formation histories of local submillimetre-selected galaxies, classified by optical morphology. Most of the galaxies are late types and very few are early types. The early-type ...
On the origin of M81 group extended dust emission
(2010-11-01)
Galactic cirrus emission at far-infrared wavelengths affects many extragalactic observations. Separating this emission from that associated with extragalactic objects is both important and difficult. In this paper we discuss ...
The Herschel Space Observatory view of dust in M81
(2010-07-01)
We use Herschel Space Observatory data to place observational constraints on the peak and Rayleigh-Jeans slope of dust emission observed at 70–500 μm in the nearby spiral galaxy M81. We find that the ratios of wave bands ...
First results from HerMES on the evolution of the submillimetre luminosity function
(2010-07-01)
We have carried out two extremely deep surveys with SPIRE, one of the two cameras on Herschel, at 250 μm, close to the peak of the far-infrared background. We have used the results to investigate the evolution of the ...
Accounting for the foreground contribution to the dust emission towards Kepler's supernova remnant
(2009)
Whether or not supernovae contribute significantly to the overall dust budget is a controversial subject. Submillimetre (sub-mm) observations, sensitive to cold dust, have shown an excess at 450 and 850 μm in young remnants ...
