We analyzed Arecibo observations of a number of sources from the SCUBA Local Universe Galaxy Survey (SLUGS) in order to determine the synchrotron contribution to their 850 µm fluxes. Arecibo observations were carried out at S-band (2150 MHz), C-band (4500 MHz), C-high (6750 MHz) and X-band (8550 MHz), to which we added archive data from the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (1400 MHz). From 300 observations of 115 sources, 20 galaxies were detected. We found that the spectral index (α) of these sources ranges from 0.25 to 1.5, and that the electron energy distribution index (δ) ranges from 1.5 to 4. Extrapolating to 350 GHz, we find that the synchrotron radiation contribution to the 850 µm emission can be as high as 83 mJy. The Arecibo Observatory is part of the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center, which is operated by Cornell University under a cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation
