Keck-I MOSFIRE spectroscopy of compact star-forming galaxies at z2: High velocity dispersions in progenitors of compact quiescent galaxies
G. Barro, J. R. Trump, D. C. Koo +28
We present Keck-I MOSFIRE near-infrared spectroscopy for a sample of 13 compact star-forming galaxies (SFGs) at redshift with star formation rates of SFR100…
A contemporaneous infrared flash from a long gamma-ray burst: an echo from the central engine
C. H. Blake, J. S. Bloom, D. L. Starr +25
The explosion that results in a cosmic gamma-ray burst (GRB) is thought to produce emission from two physical processes -- the activity of the central engine gives rise to the high…
Wide-Field Thermal Imaging of the Orion Nebula at High Spatial Resolution
L. K. Deutsch, M. Kassis, N. Smith +5
We describe multi-wavelength (8--20 micron), diffraction-limited, mid-infrared images of the OMC-1 cloud core in Orion, covering an approximately two arcminute area around the Trap…
Mid-Infrared Photometry and Spectra of Three High Mass Protostellar Candidates at IRAS 18151-1208 and IRAS 20343+4129
M. F. Campbell, T. K. Sridharan, H. Beuther +8
We present arcsecond-scale mid-ir photometry (in the 10.5 micron N band and at 24.8 microns), and low resolution spectra in the N band (R~100) of a candidate high mass protostellar…
FOBOS: A Next-Generation Spectroscopic Facility at the W. M. Keck Observatory
K. Bundy, K. Westfall, N. MacDonald +38
High-multiplex and deep spectroscopic follow-up of upcoming panoramic deep-imaging surveys like LSST, Euclid, and WFIRST is a widely recognized and increasingly urgent necessity. N…
Ground Layer Adaptive Optics for the W. M. Keck Observatory: Feasibility Study
J. R. Lu, M. Chun, S. M. Ammons +12
Ground-layer adaptive optics (GLAO) systems offer the possibility of improving the "seeing" of large ground-based telescopes and increasing the efficiency and sensitivity of observ…
Comet 162P/Siding Spring: A Surprisingly Large Nucleus
Y. R. Fernandez, H. Campins, M. Kassis +5
We present an analysis of thermal emission from comet 162P/Siding Spring (P/2004 TU12) measured during its discovery apparition in 2004 December. The comet showed no dust coma at t…
