Thermal Dust Emission from Proplyds, Unresolved Disks, and Shocks in the Orion Nebula
Nathan Smith, John Bally, Ralph Y. Shuping +2
We present a new 11.7 micron mosaic image of the Orion nebula obtained with T-ReCS on Gemini South. The map includes the BN/KL region, the Trapezium, and OMC-1 South. Excluding BN/…
Liger at Keck Observatory: Design of Imager Optical Assembly and Spectrograph Re-Imaging Optics
James Wiley, Aaron Brown, Renate Kupke +13
Liger is an adaptive optics (AO) fed imager and integral field spectrograph (IFS) designed to take advantage of the Keck All-sky Precision Adaptive-optics (KAPA) upgrade for the W.…
Liger for Next Generation Keck AO: Filter Wheel and Pupil Design
Maren Cosens, Shelley A. Wright, Pauline Arriaga +11
Liger is a next-generation near-infrared imager and integral field spectrograph (IFS) for the W.M. Keck Observatory designed to take advantage of the Keck All-Sky Precision Adaptiv…
An overview of the NIRSPEC upgrade for the Keck II telescope
Emily C. Martin, Michael P. Fitzgerald, Ian S. McLean +11
NIRSPEC is a 1-5 micron echelle spectrograph in use on the Keck II Telescope since 1999. The spectrograph is capable of both moderate (R~2,000) and high (R~25,000) resolution obser…
Liger at Keck Observatory: Design of the Data Reduction System and Software Interfaces
Nils Rundquist, Andrea Zonca, Arun Surya +15
Liger is a second generation near-infrared imager and integral field spectrograph (IFS) for the W. M. Keck Observatory that will utilize the capabilities of the Keck All-sky Precis…
Distributed Low-Mass Star Formation in the IRDC G34.43+00.24
Jonathan B. Foster, Héctor G. Arce, Marc Kassis +9
We have used deep near-infrared observations with adaptive optics to discover a distributed population of low-mass protostars within the filamentary Infrared Dark Cloud G34.43+00.2…
