We have used near-ultraviolet (NUV) to mid-infrared (MIR) composite spectral energy distributions (SEDs) to simultaneously model the attenuated stellar and dust emission of 0.5 < z < 2.0 galaxies. These composite SEDs were previously…

Using an eigenspectrum decomposition technique, we separate the host galaxy from the broad line active galactic nucleus (AGN) in a set of 4666 spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), from redshifts near zero up to about 0.75. The…

We present near and mid--IR observations of a sample of Seyfert II galaxies drawn from the $12\mu$m Galaxy Sample. The sample was observed in the J, H, K, L, M and N bands. Galaxy Surface Brightness Profiles are modeled using nuclear,…

We present the spectral energy distribution (SED) between 10 and 200 micron obtained for the prototype Narrow-Line X-Ray Galaxy NGC 7582 with ISOPHOT, the photometer on board the Infrared Space Observatory. The emission is spatially…

I present a simple self-consistent dust spectral energy distribution (SED) model that has been applied to fit the well-sampled observed UV-to-radio SED of four nearby starbursting dwarf galaxies. The main originality of this model is that…

We present a study of the complete ultraviolet to submillimetre spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of twelve 3CR radio galaxy hosts in the redshift range $1.0 < z < 2.5$, which were all detected in the far-infrared by the Herschel Space…

We define a quasar-galaxy mixing diagram using the slopes of their spectral energy distributions (SEDs) from 1\mu m to 3000\AA\ and from 1\mu m to 3\mu m in the rest frame. The mixing diagram can easily distinguish among quasar-dominated,…

We present the first AGN census in a sample of 61 galaxies selected at 70microns, a wavelength which should strongly favour the detection of star-forming systems. For the purpose of this study we take advantage of deep Chandra X-ray and…

This proceeding discusses the potential modifications to the mid-infrared spectral energy distribution (SED) of a high-redshift dusty AGN that is graviationally lensed by a foreground galaxy. The mid-infrared colour of a lensed galaxy would…

Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) contain a non-negligible amount of dust. Takeuchi et al. (2003)(T03) constructed a model of the infrared spectral energy distribution (SED) for very young galaxies by taking into account the dust size…

[Abridged] We present an integrated photometric spectral energy distribution (SED) of the Magellanic-type galaxy NGC 4449 from the far-ultraviolet (UV) to the submillimetre, including new observations acquired by the Herschel Space…

We describe a new tool for the analysis of the UV to the sub-millimeter (sub-mm) spectral energy distribution (SED) of spiral galaxies. We use a consistent treatment of grain heating and emission, solve the radiation transfer problem for a…

We continue our study of the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of 11 AGN at 1.5 < z < 2.2, with optical-NIR spectra, X-ray data and mid-IR photometry. In a previous paper we presented the observations and models; in this paper we explore…

In this study, we introduce SEDust, a pipeline designed to identify the best-fitting spectral energy distributions from the outputs of the DUSTY code and compare them to observational data. The pipeline incorporates a grid of 24000 models,…

The central engines of Seyfert galaxies are thought to be enshrouded by geometrically thick gas and dust structures. In this article, we derive observable properties for a self-consistent model of such toroidal gas and dust distributions,…

Dust emission, an important diagnostic of star formation and ISM mass throughout the Universe, can be powered by sources unrelated to ongoing star formation. In the framework of the DustPedia project we have set out to disentangle the…

We explore the effects of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and star formation activity on the infrared (0.3-1000 microns) spectral energy distributions of luminous infrared galaxies from z = 0.5 to 4.0. We have compiled a large sample of 151…

The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of galaxies are shaped by nearly every physical property of the system, including the star formation history, metal content, abundance pattern, dust mass, grain size distribution, star-dust geometry,…

An integral part of the Unified Model for Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) is an axisymmetric obscuring medium, which is commonly depicted as a torus of gas and dust surrounding the central engine. However, a robust, dynamical model of the…

The primary source of emission of active galactic nuclei (AGN), the accretion disk, is surrounded by an optically and geometrically thick dusty structure ("the so-called dusty torus"). The infrared radiation emitted by the dust is nothing…
