Scientific paper

The ISO-PHOT instrument was used to obtain a fully-sampled map of the active spiral galaxy NGC 6946 at 60 mu m, with an effective resolution on the order of 45 arcsec (Tuffs et al. 1996). The C-100 3x3 pixel array was used, with a filter identical to the IRAS 60 mu m band. While consistent with the IRAS HiRes map at the same wavelength, this map shows better spatial detail, especially at lower surface brightness. This map is compared to 6-cm and 21-cm radio maps from the VLA (Beck et al. 1996) in order to examine the behavior of the infrared-to-radio ratio within the disk of the galaxy. We detect variations in this ratio on the order of 20% or more within the disk of the galaxy, apart from variations between the central region and the disk.
