cds-question@unistra.frsurveysgalaxiesinfrared-sourcesspectroscopyline-intensitieschemical-abundancesh-ii-regionsWe present intermediate-resolution optical spectrophotometry of 65 galaxies obtained in support of the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey (SINGS). For each galaxy we obtain a nuclear, circumnuclear, and semi-integrated optical spectrum designed to coincide spatially with mid- and far-infrared spectroscopy from the Spitzer Space Telescope. We make the reduced, spectrophotometrically calibrated one-dimensional spectra, as well as measurements of the fluxes and equivalent widths of the strong nebular emission lines, publically available. We use optical emission-line ratios measured on all three spatial scales to classify the sample into star-forming, active galactic nuclei (AGNs), and galaxies with a mixture of star formation and nuclear activity. We find that the relative fraction of the sample classified as star forming versus AGN is a strong function of the integrated light enclosed by the spectroscopic aperture. We supplement our observations with a large database of nebular emission-line measurements of individual HII regions in the SINGS galaxies culled from the literature. We use these ancillary data to conduct a detailed analysis of the radial abundance gradients and average HII-region abundances of a large fraction of the sample. We combine these results with our new integrated spectra to estimate the central and characteristic (globally averaged) gas-phase oxygen abundances of all 75 SINGS galaxies. We conclude with an in-depth discussion of the absolute uncertainty in the nebular oxygen abundance scale.2010ApJS..190..233Mhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJS/190/233CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/ApJ/669/959 : Warm molecular hydrogen in SINGS galaxy sample (Roussel+,J/MNRAS/361/1063 : Oxygen abundances of HII regions (Perez-Montero+, 2005)J/ApJ/617/240 : Oxygen abundances in the GOODS-North field (Kobulnicky+,J/A+A/391/809i : HII regions in NGC 5457 and NGC 4395 (Cedres+, 2002)J/AJ/116/2805 : HII regions in spiral galaxies (Van Zee+, 1998)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/190/233https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/190/233http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/190/233https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/190/233https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/190/233http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/190/233GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/ApJS/190/233/table1 (Properties of the SINGS galaxies)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/190/233/table1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/190/233/table1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/190/233/table1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true2.4855917-24.96313060.005555555555555556Cone search capability for table J/ApJS/190/233/table10 (Oxygen abundances of the HII regions in the SINGS galaxies)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/190/233/table10?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/190/233/table10?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/190/233/table10?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true24.188333315.79777780.0055555555555555566/764 2320 4447 5181 5492 5715 5751 5799 6042 7241 7602 7606-7607 7624 7741 7743 7769 7799 7956 7970 10475 10761 10841 10856 10901 11026-11027 11263 11434 11457 11933 11961 13522 15592-15593 16441 16595 17594 17612 18398 23178 25083 25946 26271 27030 27514 27555 27830 27861 27914 27936-27937 28015 28033 28035 28039 28123 28149 28167 28496 29718 33958 33986 34404 34471 34493 34534 35993 36194 36241 36974 38390 43420 43845 45732 46399https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJS/190/233?format=asciiInfrareddefaultJ/ApJS/190/233/table1Properties of the SINGS galaxiesSimbadNameSimbad column added by the CDSmeta.idcharnullablerecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
