We characterize the dust in NGC 628 and NGC 6946, two nearby spiral galaxies in the KINGFISH sample. With data from 3.6 ЮМm to 500 ЮМm, dust models are strongly constrained. ... The dust models successfully reproduce the observed global and resolved spectral energy distributions (SEDs). The overall dust/H mass ratio is estimated to be 0.0082 ТБ 0.0017 for NGC 628, and 0.0063 ТБ 0.0009 for NGC 6946, consistent with what is expected for galaxies of near-solar metallicity. ...

Observation and modelling of main sequence star chromospheres. ... We compare our calculations to recent high res­ olution observations for selected stars in a narrow spectral range ((R­I) џ =0.875\Sigma0.05); we show that Hff line profiles behave as expected, with a tight correlation be­ tween the line width and equivalent width. ... We show that the hydrogen series dominate the radiative cooling in the spectral lines (form 40% to 90%) for Hff emission line stars. ...
