Spitzer study of AGB stars. III.

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present the third and final part of a census of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in Local Group dwarf irregular (dIrr) galaxies.

Description

Papers I (Jackson et al. 2007ApJ...656..818J) and II (Jackson et al. 2007ApJ...667..891J) presented the results for WLM and IC 1613. Included here are Phoenix, LGS 3, DDO 210, Leo A, Pegasus dIrr, and Sextans A. Spitzer photometry at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8um are presented, along with a more thorough treatment of background galaxy contamination than was presented in Papers I and II.

We find that at least a small population of completely optically obscured AGB stars exists in each galaxy, regardless of the galaxy's metallicity, but that higher metallicity galaxies tend to harbor more stars with slight infrared excesses.
