Starburst99: Synthesis Models for Galaxies with Active Star Formation
Claus Leitherer,Daniel Schaerer,Jeffrey D. Goldader,Rosa M. González Delgado,Carmelle Robert,Denis Foo Kune,Denis Foo Kune,Duilia F. de Mello,Daniel Devost,Daniel Devost,Timothy M. Heckman +10 more
TL;DR: Starburst99 as mentioned in this paper is a comprehensive set of model predictions for spectrophotometric and related properties of galaxies with active star formation, which is an improved and extended version of the data set previously published by Leitherer & Heckman.

TL;DR: The SIRTF Nearby Galaxy Survey (SINGS) as mentioned in this paper is a comprehensive infrared imaging and spectroscopic survey of 75 nearby galaxies and its primary goal is to characterize the infrared emission of galaxies and their principal infrared-emitting components across a broad range of galaxy properties and star formation environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
