Abstract | Combining infrared and submillimeter observations and applying a two-temperature modified blackbody (TMBB) model with a hierarchical Bayesian technique, we model the spectral energy distribution of 12 nearby dwarf irregular (dIrr) galaxies. We aim to probe potential submillimeter excess emission at 350, 500, and 850 mu m and investigate the properties of cold dust parameters. Based on the TMBB model with cold dust emissivity index (beta (c)) fixed to 2, one galaxy shows 500 mu m excess emission and nine galaxies show excess at 850 mu m (five of them still show 850 mu m excess in the case of free beta (c)). We find that the 850 mu m excess emission is easily detected in the dIrr galaxies with low star formation activity. The 850 mu m excess is more frequent and more prominent in dIrr galaxies with low molecular hydrogen gas mass fraction or low ratios between cold dust mass and gas mass. As galaxies evolve, the ratios between atomic hydrogen gas mass and stellar mass decrease and the 850 mu m excess emission tends to decrease or even disappear. Our results suggest that the cold dust temperature may increase, as the dIrr galaxies have more intense star formation or richer metallicity. There is a weak anticorrelation between the cold dust-to-stellar mass ratio and the specific star formation rate for our galaxies. |
