Abstract
Far-infrared (IR) images of the nearby Sb galaxy NGC 2841 and the Sc galaxy NGC 2976 at wavelengths of 65, 90, 140, and 160 ∼ bridge in the M 81/M 82 group that NGC 2976 belongs to. By taking advantage of a wealth of the far-IR bands of the FIS, it has been demonstrated that the spectral energy distribution of NGC 2841 is spatially more variable than that of NGC 2976.
