Color‐corrected spectra of the galaxies at 140 and 240 μm in the DIRBE photometric system. Solid curves show the continua produced from two‐component dust models. Similar dashed lines indicate a pure, one‐component dust model. The error bars are based on the total DIRBE absolute photometric uncertainty for the color‐corrected fluxes described in § 2. Also included with diamond symbols are published IRAS photometry by Rice et al. (1990) and Rice (1993). The triangular symbols represent the photometry of Jaffe et al. (1984), Hildebrand et al. (1977), and Rickard & Harvey (1984) as described in the text. The axes in each panel are labeled in microns and in the log (janskys).
