The JCMT nearby galaxies legacy survey: SCUBA-2 observations of nearby galaxies

Abstract

ABSTRACT We present 850 $\mu$m observations of a sample of 8 nearby spiral galaxies, made using the SCUBA-2 camera on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) as part of the JCMT Nearby Galaxies Legacy Survey (NGLS). We corrected our data for the presence of the 12CO J = 3 → 2 line in the SCUBA-2 850 $\mu$m bandwidth using NGLS HARP data, finding a typical 12CO contribution of ∼20 per cent. We measured dust column densities, …
