Mid-Infrared Galaxy Classification Based on Silicate Obscuration and PAH Equivalent Width (2006, methodology): “This sample is compared to samples of AGN and starburst templates from the IRS GTO programs 14 (Brandl et al. 2006; Weedman et al. 2005) and 96 and to selected AGNs from the GTO programs 82 and 86 (Shi et al. 2006).”
Mid-Infrared Spectral Diagnosis of Submillimeter Galaxies (2007, methodology): “We measured the PAH lines in 10 of the Brandl et al. (2006) starburst galaxies to verify that our method is consistent with their measurements.”
High-Resolution Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (2007, methodology): “Observationally, however, PAH features are usually prominent in starburst galaxies, with previous authors noting a good correlation between the strength of PAH features and IR luminosity in starbursts (Brandl et al. 2006), but appear to be weak or absent in AGNs (Weedman et al. 2005).”
The Behavior of the Aromatic Features in M101 H II Regions: Evidence for Dust Processing (2008, background): “Brandl et al. (2006) studied low ionizations (−1.25 < II < 0.05) and found no variation.”
Defining the intrinsic AGN infrared spectral energy distribution and measuring its contribution to the infrared output of composite galaxies (2011, methodology): “All of the Brandl et al. (2006) starbursts were observed in IRS staringmode, while the four “cold” galaxies were observed in mapping mode.”
AN ATLAS OF GALAXY SPECTRAL ENERGY DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THE ULTRAVIOLET TO THE MID-INFRARED (2013, methodology): “…and Great Observatories All-Sky LIRG Survey (GOALS; Armus et al. 2009; U et al. 2012; Inami et al. 2013; Stierwalt et al. 2013), supplemented by other programs targeting specific galaxy types such as starbursts, low metallicity galaxies and ellipticals (e.g., Brandl et al. 2006; Wu et al. 2006).”
The Infrared Luminosity Function of Galaxies at Redshifts z = 1 and z ~ 2 in the GOODS Fields (2007, background): “In general, PAH line equivalent widths appear to be quite independent of the bolometric IR luminosities of star-forming galaxies (Peeters et al. 2004; Brandl et al. 2006).”
EXTENDING THE NEARBY GALAXY HERITAGE WITH WISE: FIRST RESULTS FROM THE WISE ENHANCED RESOLUTION GALAXY ATLAS (2012, background): “Analysis for many of these galaxies have been published, including NGC 777 (IRAC Instrument Handbook), NGC 4486 (Shi et al. 2007), M 83 (Dong et al. 2008), M 101 (Gordon et al. 2008), and IC 342 (IRS spectra from Brandl et al. 2006).”
Far-infrared spectral energy distribution fitting for galaxies near and far (2012, background): “The mid-infrared spectra of dusty starbursts have been shown to vary substantially at both low-z and high-z (Brandl et al. 2006; Pope et al. 2008; Menéndez-Delmestre et al. 2009).”
Towards a complete census of AGN in nearby Galaxies: a large population of optically unidentified AGN (2009, methodology): “The mid-IR continua of starburst galaxies are typically characterised by strong PAH features at λ ∼ 3.3, 6.2, 7.7, 8.6, 11.3, 12.7, 14.2 and 17.0 µm combined with a steep spectral slope at far-IR (λ > 25 µm) wavelengths (Brandl et al. 2006).”
MID-INFRARED PROPERTIES OF NEARBY LUMINOUS INFRARED GALAXIES. I. SPITZER INFRARED SPECTROGRAPH SPECTRA FOR THE GOALS SAMPLE (2013, methodology): “The same median value was found for a sample of lower luminosity starbursting galaxies (Brandl et al. 2006).”
Spitzer Observations of 3C Quasars and Radio Galaxies: Mid-Infrared Properties of Powerful Radio Sources (2006, background): “Recently, Brandl et al. (2006) have shown that the 15 m/30 mflux density ratio is also a very good AGN/starburst discriminator.”
Constraining the properties of AGN host galaxies with spectral energy distribution modelling (2015, methodology): “The host galaxy templates are derived by using the Brandl et al. (2006) SB sample, as well as four galaxies taken in the Revised Bright Galaxy Sample.”
Deep Spitzer 24 μm COSMOS Imaging. I. The Evolution of Luminous Dusty Galaxies—Confronting the Models (2009, background): “Given the variety of starburst and AGN SEDs in the mid-IR (e.g., Laurent et al. 2000; Brandl et al. 2006; Weedman et al. 2005; Wu et al. 2006; Armus et al. 2007), observations at these wavelengths are affected by quite complex k-correction effects and their sensitivity decreases rapidly beyond z ∼…”
The Mid-Infrared Spectrum of Star-forming Galaxies: Global Properties of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Emission (2006, background): “Consistent with this, Brandl et al. (2006) found a large scatter, but no significant variation of L(7.7µm)/L(11.3µm) over a wide range of excitation in starburst nuclei.”
Modeling the Pan-Spectral Energy Distribution of Starburst Galaxies. IV. The Controlling Parameters of the Starburst SED (2007, methodology): “This spectral region has few emission lines and there are now available many Spitzer IRS spectra of Starbursts, e.g. Brandl et al. (2006).”
