Dust and Heating Sources in Infrared Galaxies

这个项目是一个非常活跃的研究小组在红外波段工作的研究计划的延续。威恩-威廉姆斯博士和他的团队将利用波长在1至2.5微米范围内的红外辐射，研究螺旋星系盘中恒星和尘埃颗粒的分布。他们将集中研究高光度红外星系、相互作用星系、附近的盘状星系和河外旋臂中的恒星形成区。他们的目标是提高我们对星系远红外发射起源的认识。

This project is the continuation of a research program by an extremely active group working at infrared wavelengths. Dr. Wynn-Williams and his group will study the distribution of stars and dust grains in the disks of spiral galaxies using infrared radiation in the 1 to 2.5 micron wavelength range. They will concentrate on high luminosity infrared galaxies, interacting galaxies, nearby disk galaxies, and star formation regions in extragalactic spiral arms. Their goal is to improve our under- standing of the origin of far infrared emission of galaxies.
