IR luminosities and aromatic features of 5MUSES

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We study a 24um selected sample of 330 galaxies observed with the infrared spectrograph for the 5mJy Unbiased Spitzer Extragalactic Survey (5MUSES).

Description

We estimate accurate total infrared luminosities by combining mid-IR spectroscopy and mid-to-far infrared photometry, and by utilizing new empirical spectral templates from Spitzer data. The infrared luminosities of this sample range mostly from 10^9^L_{sun}_ to 10^13.5^L_{sun}_, with 83% in the range 10^10^L_{sun}_<L_IR_<10^12^L_{sun}_.

The redshifts range from 0.008 to 4.27, with a median of 0.144. The equivalent widths of the 6.2um aromatic feature have a bimodal distribution, probably related to selection effects. We use the 6.2um polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon equivalent width (PAH EW) to classify our objects as starburst (SB)-dominated (44%), SB-AGN composite (22%), and active galactic nucleus (AGN)-dominated (34%).

The high EW objects (SB-dominated) tend to have steeper mid-IR to far-IR spectral slopes and lower LIR and redshifts.
