We investigate the far-infrared (IR) dust emission for 20 local star forming galaxies from the Key Insights on Nearby Galaxies: A Far-IR Survey with Herschel (KINGFISH) sample. ... Our fitting method allows us to investigate the resolved nature of temperature and emissivity variations by modeling from the galaxy centers to the outskirts (physical scales of ~15-50 kpc, depending on the size of the galaxy). ...

... Programme . ... Abstract: The five-year WMAP results coupled with single-dish observations at low frequencies have provided us with the first broad-band, spatially resolved observational constraints on the radio spectral properties of the giant lobes of Centaurus A. I will review what this tells us about the dynamics and activity history of the source and comment on the implications for inverse-Compton emission and high-energy particle acceleration in the giant lobes. go back . ...

... The Science Operation Department is composed of Astronomers, Telescope Instruments Operators(TIOs) and Data Handling Administrators(DHAs). ... Astronomers have proposed several methods to quantitatively measure the amount of turbulence above the telescope, which the most common ones is Differential Image Motion Monitor (DIMM). In optical testing, the Hartmann test is the common method to test the quality of optical components. ... Hartmann mask consists of 48 lenses. ...

... Properties of Dust Grains in Planetary Nebulae - I. The Ionized Region of NGC 6445 . ... Based on this model, we show from depletions in the gas phase elements that little grain destruction can have occurred in the ionized region of NGC 6445. ... The most likely conclusion is that grains are residing inside the ionized region of NGC 6445 and that the low temperature and flux of the grain emission are caused by the low luminosity of the central star and the low optical depth of the grains. ...
