Description
We present an update to the ultraviolet-to-radio database of global
broadband photometry for the 79 nearby galaxies that comprise the union
of the KINGFISH (Key Insights on Nearby Galaxies: A Far-Infrared Survey
with Herschel) and SINGS (Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey)
samples. The 34-band data set presented here includes contributions from
observational work carried out with a variety of facilities including
GALEX, SDSS, Pan-STARRS1, NOAO, 2MASS, Wide-Field Infrared Survey
Explorer, Spitzer, Herschel, Planck, JCMT, and the VLA. Improvements of
note include recalibrations of previously published SINGS BVR
C I C and KINGFISH far-infrared/submillimeter
photometry. Similar to previous results in the literature, an excess of
submillimeter emission above model predictions is seen primarily for
low-metallicity dwarf or irregular galaxies. This 33-band photometric
data set for the combined KINGFISH+SINGS sample serves as an important
multiwavelength reference for the variety of galaxies observed at low
redshift. A thorough analysis of the observed spectral energy
distributions is carried out in a companion paper.
