Mid-infrared PAH emission from star-forming galaxies selected at 250 μm

Abstract The infrared (IR) galaxies detected at Herschel/SPIRE 250 μm band over the AKARI’s NEP-Wide field are various types of dusty star-forming (SF) galaxies ranging from quiescent to starbursts, having mid-IR polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) features near 8 μm. The measurements of the 8 μm luminosity (L8μm) along with the total infrared luminosity (LIR) based on the physical modeling of SEDs a take unique advantage of the continuous near- to mid-IR coverage, far-IR data points, and spectroscopically determined accurate redshifts. Our sample shows shortage of 8 μm luminosity compared to the total IR luminosity. This deficit gets severe in more luminous IR galaxies, suggesting PAH molecules in these galaxies are destroyed by a strong radiation field from SF regions, or the existence of a unexpectedly large amount of cold dust in the ISM that contributes to LIR.
