Abstract

We present wide-field 1.1mm continuum imaging of the nearby spiral galaxy M 33, conducted with the AzTEC bolometer camera on ASTE.We show that the 1.1mm flux traces the distribution of dust with T ̃ 20K. Combined with far-infrared imaging at 160μm, we derived the dust temperature distribution out to a galactic radius of ̃7 kpc with a spatial resolution of ̃150 pc. Although the 1.1mm flux was observed predominantly near star-forming regions, we found a smooth radial temperature gradient declining from ̃20K to ̃13K consistent with recent results from the Herschel satellite. Further comparisons of individual regions show a strong correlation between the cold dust temperature and the K_S band brightness, but not with the ionizing flux. The observed results imply that the dominant heating source of cold dust at few hundred parsec scales is due to non-OB stars, even when associated with star-forming regions.
