A New Empirical Method for Estimating the Far-Infrared Flux of Galaxies

Onaka, Takashi; Takeuchi, Tsutomu T.; Shibai, Hiroshi +1 more

We propose a new empirical method to estimate the total far-infrared flux of galaxies from the spectral energy distribution (SED) at wavelengths of λ <= 100 µm. It is difficult to derive the total far-infrared luminosity from only the IRAS data, though it is one of the most important properties of galaxies. Observations by Infrared Telesc…
