TL;DR: In this paper, a large portion of the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey (SINGS) sample plus archival data from ISO and Spitzer was used for mid-infrared diagnostics, which effectively constrain a target's dominant power source.
The Large Magellanic Cloud's Largest Molecular Cloud Complex: Spitzer Analysis of Embedded Star Formation
Remy Indebetouw,Remy Indebetouw,B. A. Whitney,Akiko Kawamura,Toshikazu Onishi,Margaret Meixner,Marilyn R. Meade,Brian Babler,Joseph L. Hora,Karl D. Gordon,Charles W. Engelbracht,Miwa Block,Karl Misselt +12 more
TL;DR: The Magellanic clouds are a rare laboratory in which extragalactic star-formation diagnostics can be tested at high spatial resolution as discussed by the authors, and the southern part of the molecular ridge is particularly interesting as a potential extreme in the range of molecular cloud conditions, because of the apparent paucity of optical tracers.
Cool dust heating and temperature mixing in nearby star-forming galaxies
Leslie K. Hunt,Bruce T. Draine,Simone Bianchi,Karl D. Gordon,Karl D. Gordon,G. Aniano,G. Aniano,Daniela Calzetti,Daniel A. Dale,George Helou,Joannah L. Hinz,R. C.

Gil de Paz,Jin Koda,Juan-Carlos Muñoz-Mateos,Karin Sandstrom,Karin Sandstrom,Marc Sauvage,L. Vigroux,Stefano Zibetti +25 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the radial surface brightness profiles of the entire sample of 61 galaxies from Key Insights into Nearby Galaxies: Far-Infrared Survey with Herschel (KINGFISH) with the main goal of the characterization of the grain emissivities, dust temperatures, and interstellar radiation fields responsible for heating the dust.
Absolute Flux Calibration of the IRAC Instrument on the Spitzer Space Telescope using Hubble Space Telescope Flux Standards
Ralph C. Bohlin,Karl D. Gordon,George H. Rieke,David R. Ardila,Sean Carey,Susana E. Deustua,Charles W. Engelbracht,Henry C. Ferguson,Kathryn A. Flanagan,Jason S. Kalirai,Margaret Meixner,Alberto Noriega-Crespo,Kate Y. L. Su,Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay +13 more
TL;DR: The absolute flux calibration of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will be based on a set of stars observed by the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes.
Energy Sources of the Far-Infrared Emission of M33
Joannah L. Hinz,George H. Rieke,Karl D. Gordon,Pablo G. Pérez-González,Charles W. Engelbracht,A. Alonso-Herrero,Jane E. Morrison,Karl Misselt,Dean C. Hines,Dean C. Hines,Robert D. Gehrz,Elisha Polomski,Charles E. Woodward,Roberta M. Humphreys,Michael W. Regan,Jeonghee Rho,Jeffrey W. Beeman,Eugene E. Haller +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the morphology of the spiral galaxy M33 at far-infrared wavelengths with other standard star formation indicators such as Hα and radio continuum using a Fourier filtering technique to separate the diffuse emission components from compact sources.
