DustPedia: A Definitive Study of Cosmic Dust in the Local Universe Overview
DustPedia Overview DustPedia Primary Data Access

Overview

The DustPedia project capitalises on the legacy of the Herschel Space Observatory, using cutting-edge modelling techniques to study dust in the 875 DustPedia galaxies - representing the vast majority of extended galaxies within 3000 km/s that were observed by Herschel. This work requires a database of multiwavelength imagery and photometry that greatly exceeds the scope (in terms of wavelength coverage and number of galaxies) of any previous local-Universe survey.

If you use DustPedia data, please cite the journal articles Clark et al. (2018), as well as the dataset Digital Object Identifier (DOI): 10.26131/IRSA660.
