A simple model to interpret the ultraviolet, optical and infrared emission from galaxies
A simple model to interpret the ultraviolet, optical and infrared emission from galaxies
We present a simple, largely empirical but physically motivated model to interpret the mid- and far-infrared spectral energy distributions of galaxies consistently with the emission at ultraviolet, optical and near-infrared wavelengths. Our model relies on an existing angle-averaged prescription to compute the absorption of starlight by dust in stellar birth …
