- Description:
- Spitzer Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) observations of two fields in the extended UV disk (XUV-disk) of M83 have been recently obtained, ~3R_HII_ away from the center of the galaxy (R_HII_=6.6kpc). Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) UV images have shown the two fields to host in situ recent star formation. The IRAC images are used in conjunction with GALEX data and new HI imaging from The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS) to constrain stellar masses and ages of the UV clumps in the fields, and to relate the local recent star formation to the reservoir of available gas. Multi-wavelength photometry in the UV and mid-IR (MIR) bands of 136 UV clumps (spatial resolution >220pc) identified in the two target fields, together with model fitting of the stellar UV-MIR spectral energy distributions (SEDs), suggests that the clumps cover a range of ages between a few Myr and >1Gyr with a median value around <=100Myr, and have masses in the range 10^3^-3x10^6^M_{sun}_, with a peak ~10^4.7^M_{sun}.

- Description:
- Several population synthesis models now predict integrated colors of simple stellar populations in the mid-infrared bands. To date, the models have not been extensively tested in this wavelength range. In a comparison of the predictions of several recent population synthesis models, the integrated colors are found to cover approximately the same range but to disagree in detail, for example, on the effects of metallicity. To test against observational data, globular clusters (GCs) are used as the closest objects to idealized groups of stars with a single age and single metallicity. Using recent mass estimates, we have compiled a sample of massive, old GCs in M31 which contain enough stars to guard against the stochastic effects of small-number statistics, and measured their integrated colors in the Spitzer/IRAC bands. Comparison of the cluster photometry in the IRAC bands with the model predictions shows that the models reproduce the cluster colors reasonably well, except for a small (not statistically significant) offset in [4.5]-[5.8]. In this color, models without circumstellar dust emission predict bluer values than are observed. Model predictions of colors formed from the V band and the IRAC 3.6 and 4.5{micro}m bands are redder than the observed data at high metallicities and we discuss several possible explanations. In agreement with model predictions, V-[3.6] and V-[4.5] colors are found to have metallicity sensitivity similar to or slightly better than V-K_s_.

- Description:
- This paper presents the observations of Cloud D in the Vela Molecular Ridge, obtained with the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) camera on board the Spitzer Space Telescope at the wavelengths {lambda}=3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0um. A photometric catalog of point sources, covering a field of approximately 1.2deg^2^, has been extracted and complemented with additional available observational data in the millimeter region. Previous observations of the same region, obtained with the Spitzer MIPS camera in the photometric bands at 24um and 70um, have also been reconsidered to allow an estimate of the spectral slope of the sources in a wider spectral range. A total of 170299 point sources, detected at the 5{sigma} sensitivity level in at least one of the IRAC bands, have been reported in the catalog. There were 8796 sources for which good quality photometry was obtained in all four IRAC bands. For this sample, a preliminary characterization of the young stellar population based on the determination of spectral slope is discussed; combining this with diagnostics in the color-magnitude and color-color diagrams, the relative population of young stellar objects (YSOs) in different evolutionary classes has been estimated and a total of 637 candidate YSOs have been selected.

- IRAC point sources for M32

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We investigate the population of cool, evolved stars in the Local Group dwarf elliptical galaxy M32, using Infrared Array Camera observations from the Spitzer Space Telescope. We construct deep mid-infrared colour-magnitude diagrams for the resolved stellar populations within 3.5 arcmin of M32's centre, and identify those stars that exhibit infrared excess. Our data are dominated by a population of luminous, dust-producing stars on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) and extend to approximately 3 mag below the AGB tip. We detect for the first time a sizeable population of `extreme' AGB stars, highly enshrouded by circumstellar dust and likely completely obscured at optical wavelengths. The total dust-injection rate from the extreme AGB candidates is measured to be 7.5x10^-7^M_{sun}_/yr, corresponding to a gas mass-loss rate of 1.5x10^-4^M_{sun}_/yr. These extreme stars may be indicative of an extended star formation epoch between 0.2 and 5Gyr ago.

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) photometry for a sample of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs). The BCGs are from a heterogeneous but uniformly characterized sample, the Archive of Chandra Cluster Entropy Profile Tables (ACCEPT), of X-ray galaxy clusters from the Chandra X-ray telescope archive with published gas temperature, density, and entropy profiles. We use archival Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX), Spitzer Space Telescope, and Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) observations to assemble spectral energy distributions (SEDs) and colors for BCGs. We establish a mean near-UV (NUV) to 2MASS K color of 6.59+/-0.34 for quiescent BCGs. We use this mean color to quantify the UV excess associated with star formation in the active BCGs. We use both fits to a template of an evolved stellar population and library of starburst models and mid-IR star formation relations to estimate the obscured star formation rates (SFRs). We present IR and UV photometry and estimated equivalent continuous SFRs for a sample of BCGs.

- Description:
- The main purpose of the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) was to survey the sky in four infrared wavelength bands centered at 12, 25, 60 and 100 um. Data for 25 comets, 1811 known asteroids and ~TBD asteroids without orbits were obtained and accepted into this IRAS asteroid and comet catalog, which is the largest, least biased and most uniform survey of asteroids and comets. For the IRAS Asteroid Survey, 7,015 sightings from 1,811 individual asteroids that were of sufficient quality have been accepted into the asteroid catalog. Diameters, albedos and various technical parameters have been derived for these minor planet. The IRAS comet catalog contains the detection history for each comet reliably detected in the ADAS search. Positions were searched for all periodic comets that passed near the sun or earth during the period from 1982 to 1985 plus all comets that were observed during that period.

- IRAS catalogue of Point Sources, Version 2.0
- Short Name:
- II/125
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- This is a catalog of some 250,000 well-confirmed infrared point sources observed by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite, i.e., sources with angular extents less than approximately 0.5, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 arcmin in the in-scan direction at 12, 25, 60, and 100 microns, respectively. Positions, flux densities, uncertainties, associations with known astronomical objects and various cautionary flags are given for each object. While two other complementary data sets - the Working Survey Data Base and a file of rejected sources - give information about point-like sources, the information available in the Point Source Catalog should satisfy almost all users. Away from confused regions of the sky, the survey is complete to about 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, and 1.0 Jy at 12, 25, 60, and 100 microns. Typical position uncertainties are about 2 to 6 arcseconds in-scan and about 8 to 16 arcseconds cross-scan. The processing steps applied to detect and confirm point sources, and the positional and photometric error analyses are described in the IRAS Catalogs and Atlases Explanatory Supplement; the catalog format is described in Chapter X. The sources appear in order of increasing (1950.0) right ascension. The included script "tofits.sh" should generate the FITS version of the tables on Unix platforms.

- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The Faint Source Survey (FSS) is the definitive Infrared Astronomical Satellite data set for faint point sources. The FSS was produced by point-source filtering the individual detector data streams and then coadding those data streams using a trimmed-average algorithm. The resulting images, or plates, give the best estimate from the IRAS survey data of the point source flux density at every surveyed point of the sky. The Faint Source Catalog (FSC) is a compilation of the sources extracted from the FSS plates that have met reasonable reliability requirements. Averaged over the whole catalog, the FSC is at least 98.5% reliable at 12 and 25 microns, and ~94% at 60 microns. For comparison, the IRAS Point Source Catalog (PSC) is >99.997% reliable, but the sensitivity of the FSC exceeds that of the PSC by about a factor of 2.5. The FSC contains data for 173,044 point sources in unconfused regions with flux densities typically above 0.2 Jy at 12, 25, and 60 microns, and above 1.0 Jy at 100 microns. The FSS plates are somewhat more sensitive but less reliable than the FSC; typically, only sources with SNR>5-6 in the plates are contained in the FSC. Sources with SNR>3 but which do not meet the reliability requirements of the FSC are catalogued in the Faint Source Reject File (FSR, Cat. II/275). The data products, the processing methods used to produce them, results of an analysis of these products, and cautionary notes are given in the Explanatory Supplement to the IRAS Faint Source Survey (see references in fsc.txt).
