Stars, dust and gas in nearby galaxies
Two papers leaded by GUAIX members have been recently published in the Astrophysical Journal. They describe the radial distribution of stars, dust and gas in galaxies from the SINGS sample, in order to find out how these components got assembled together during the galaxies' lifetime. In Paper I we describe and quantify the morphology of these galaxies at multiple wavelengths, from the far-ultraviolet to the far-infrared. In Paper II we focus on the radial distribution of different properties of dust: the attenuation, the dust column density, the abundance of PAHs or the dust-to-gas ratio, among others. These papers are part of Juan Carlos Muñoz-Mateos' thesis, and besides the GUAIX team they also include the collaboration of members of the GALEX and SINGS teams.
