Descripción
We have carried out broad band photometry of the interacting galaxy
system NGC 6090 from 3.6 to 200μm using ISOPHOT. This is complemented
by a low resolution spectrum in the wavelength range 2.5-11.5μm. The
IR spectral energy distribution of a starburst galaxy is shown with
unprecedented detail. From our Far Infrared measurements we can
demonstrate that the starburst component is the dominating energy source
in this object. 84% of the total IR output is in the wavelength range
below 120μm, while 16% is in the 120 to 240μm range. Emission in
the PAH bands is an essential radiation mechanism in the wavelength
range shortward of 10μm for this object. We discuss various published
starburst models and their applicability to NGC 6090.
