Ithaca - 19 Jun 2006 VC The IRS GTO ULIRG program - details Of the 110 sources Flux limited: 32 have S 25 0.3 Jy and log L FIR L . We are observing all 32 in low and high-res modes. High redshift: 27 have z 0.3. GTO1-: 12/27 are being observed in low and high-res. + GTO2 (all rest) High luminosity: 11 sources have log L FIR 12.5 L . 10/11 are being observed in low and high-res.. Mix of Far-IR colors: 68 are “cold” (S 25 /S 60 < 0.2) and 21 are “warm”. This is a higher fraction of warm sources than in a flux-limited survey (typically ≤ 10%).

Ithaca - 19 Jun 2006 VC Decomposition of the Infrared Spectrum Core of the method Assume absorption cross sections from Li & Draine (2001) and an MRN grain-size distribution Calculate the opacities of PAH, graphitic and smoothed astronomical silicate grains. Each dust component has a quasi-fixed temperature i.e.. the fitting process is really an expansion into several temperature basis components. The number of dust components is fixed for the sample so that all galaxies are fit in a uniform manner. In addition to a ~3500 K stellar blackbody and PAH component, we find that we need ~3 additional continuum dust components with T~400, ~150, and ~30 K to accurately fit the entire sample. An AGN manifests its presence with the requirement of an additional hot dust component T~800K (Laurent et al. 2000) Talk to Jason Marshall !
