TL;DR: In this paper, spectral energy distributions (SEDs) were used to identify those stars which exhibit infrared excess, finding excess only among the brightest giants: dusty mass loss begins at a luminosity of ~ 1000 Lsun, becoming ubiquitous above 2000 Lsun.

TL;DR: In this article, a power law fit to the data yields a steep relation with an exponent of 26±02, with simple assumptions for the gas-to-dust mass ratio and the duration of star formation.

Spitzer Analysis of H II Region Complexes in the Magellanic Clouds: Determining a Suitable Monochromatic Obscured Star Formation Indicator
Brandon Lawton,Karl D. Gordon,Brian Babler,Miwa Block,Alberto D. Bolatto,S. Bracker,Lynn Redding Carlson,Charles W. Engelbracht,Joseph L. Hora,Remy Indebetouw,S. C. Madden,Marilyn R. Meade,Margaret Meixner,Karl Misselt,M. S. Oey,Joana M. Oliveira,Thomas P. Robitaille,Marta Sewilo,Bernie Shiao,Uma P. Vijh,B. A. Whitney +20 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the bolometric infrared flux (TIR) to estimate the star formation rate in the Magellanic Clouds and found that the TIR provides a measure of the obscured star formation because the UV photons from hot young stars are absorbed by dust and reemitted across the mid-to-far-infrared (IR) spectrum.

Martha L. Boyer,Martha L. Boyer,Kristen B. W. McQuinn,Pauline Barmby,Alceste Z. Bonanos,Robert D. Gehrz,Karl D. Gordon,Martin Groenewegen,Eric Lagadec,D. J. Lennon,Massimo Marengo,Margaret Meixner,Evan D. Skillman,Gregory C. Sloan,George Sonneborn,Jacco Th. van Loon,Albert A. Zijlstra +16 more
TL;DR: The DUSTiNGS (DUST in Nearby Galaxies with Spitzer) survey as mentioned in this paper is a 3.6 and 4.5 μm post-cryogen Spitzer Space Telescope imaging survey of 50 dwarf galaxies within 1.5 Mpc that is designed to identify dust-producing asymptotic giant branch stars and massive stars.
Small PAHs in the Red Rectangle
TL;DR: In this paper, the spatial correlation between the blue luminescence and the 3.3 micron emission, commonly attributed to small, neutral PAH molecules, and the newly derived UV/optical attenuation curve for the central source of the Red Rectangle (RR) was reported.
