TL;DR: The Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) as discussed by the authors provides long-wavelength capability for the mission in imaging bands at 24, 70, and 160?m and measurements of spectral energy distributions between 52 and 100?m at a spectral resolution of about 7%.

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
Dust Masses, PAH Abundances, and Starlight Intensities in the SINGS Galaxy Sample
Bruce T. Draine,Daniel A. Dale,George J. Bendo,Karl D. Gordon,J. D. T. Smith,Lee Armus,Charles W. Engelbracht,George Helou,Robert C. Kennicutt,Robert C.

TL;DR: Physical dust models for 65 galaxies in SINGS that are strongly detected in the four IRAC bands and three MIPS bands were presented for each galaxy as discussed by the authors, estimating the total dust mass, the fraction of the dust mass contributed by PAHs, and the intensity of the starlight heating the dust grains.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Quantitative Comparison of the Small Magellanic Cloud, Large Magellanic Cloud, and Milky Way Ultraviolet to Near-Infrared Extinction Curves
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared all known extinction curves in the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds (SMC and LMC) with their understanding of the general behavior of Milky Way extinction curves.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed Spitzer 8 and 24 μm data of star-forming regions in a sample of 33 nearby galaxies with available HST NICMOS images in the Paα (1.8756 μm) emission line.
