Observational and theoretical studies of extragalactic H II regions are reviewed. The
physical properties of H II regions, their distribution in galaxies, and extinction are discussed …

Interstellar dust models for extinction and emission ADS Classic is now deprecated. It will be
completely retired in October 2019. This page will automatically redirect to the new ADS …

We describe a new tool for the analysis of the UV to the sub-millimeter (sub-mm) spectral
energy distribution (SED) of spiral galaxies. We use a consistent treatment of grain heating …

We have fit the far-ultraviolet (FUV) to sub-millimeter (850 μm) spectral energy distributions
(SEDs) of the 61 galaxies from the Key Insights on Nearby Galaxies: A Far-Infrared Survey …

Abstract We use Spitzer Space Telescope and Herschel Space Observatory far-infrared data
along with ground-based optical and near-infrared data to understand how dust heating in …

New radio continuum data for a sample of 74 spiral galaxies supports the calorimeter model
of Voelk (1989A&A... 218... 67V) only for steep-spectrum, thin-disk, non-interacting objects …

We measure the recent star formation history (SFH) across M31 using optical images taken
with the Hubble Space Telescope as part of the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury …

We have analyzed the light distribution of the nearby spiral M 31, using recently obtained
surface photometry in four colours. Three main topics are discussed. First, we study the …

We present calibrations for star formation rate (SFR) indicators in the ultraviolet, mid-
infrared, and radio-continuum bands, including one of the first direct calibrations of 150 MHz …

This paper argues that the Milky Way galaxy is probably the largest member of the Local
Group. The evidence comes from estimates of the total mass of the Andromeda galaxy (M31) …
