Description
We present spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for 68 Herschel sources
detected at 5σ at 250, 350 and 500 μm in the HerMES
SWIRE-Lockman field. We explore whether existing models for starbursts,
quiescent star-forming galaxies and active galactic nucleus dust tori
are able to model the full range of SEDs measured with Herschel. We find
that while many galaxies (~56 per cent) are well fitted with the
templates used to fit IRAS, Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) and Spitzer
sources, for about half the galaxies two new templates are required:
quiescent (`cirrus') models with colder (10-20 K) dust and a young
starburst model with higher optical depth than Arp 220. Predictions of
submillimetre fluxes based on model fits to 4.5-24 μm data agree
rather poorly with the observed fluxes, but the agreement is better for
fits to 4.5-70 μm data. Herschel galaxies detected at 500 μm tend
to be those with the highest dust masses.
Herschel is an ESA space observatory with science instruments provided
by European-led Principal Investigator consortia and with important
participation from NASA.
