Dust Properties of Local Dust-Obscured Galaxies with the Submillimeter
  Array
  We report Submillimeter Array (SMA) observations of the 880 \mu m dust
continuum emission for four dust-obscured galaxies (DOGs) in the local
universe. Two DOGs are clearly detected with S_\nu(880 \mu m)=10-13 mJy and
S/N>5, but the other two are not detected with 3{\sigma} upper limits of
S_\nu(880 \mu m)=5-9 mJy. Including an additional two local DOGs with
submillimeter data from the literature, we determine the dust masses and
temperatures for six local DOGs. The infrared luminosities and dust masses for
these DOGs are in the range 1.2-4.9x10^{11} (L_sun) and 4-14x10^{7} (M_sun),
respectively. The dust temperatures derived from a two-component modified
blackbody function are 23-26 K and 60-124 K for the cold and warm dust
components, respectively. Comparison of local DOGs with other infrared luminous
galaxies with submillimeter detections shows that the dust temperatures and
masses do not differ significantly among these objects. Thus, as argued
previously, local DOGs are not a distinctive population among dusty galaxies,
but simply represent the high-end tail of the dust obscuration distribution.
