A High Spatial Resolution Study of Far IR Emission of GalaxiesThis grant funded observations, data reduction, professional publications and travel for scientific efforts on the Kuiper Airborne Observatory. The research project was successfully completed. New insights into the distribution of far infrared emission across star forming regions was obtained, and student training was achieved. The efforts contributed towards new observing strategies, such as calibration and intercomparison of data from different infrared astronomical observing platforms, that will impact future NASA missions, such as SOFIA. The results of the effort have been presented in several papers in the refereed literature, including: "The Structure of IR Luminous Galaxies at 100 Microns". " Far Infrared Thermal Emission from the Inner Cooling Flow Region of NGC1275". "Distribution of Light in the "Dusty Hand" Galaxy NGC2146".
