A Near-Infrared Multiplicity Survey of Class I/Flat-Spectrum Systems in Six Nearby Molecular Clouds

Karl E. Haisch, Thomas P. Greene, Mary Barsony +1

We present new near-IR observations of 76 Class I/flat-spectrum objects in the nearby (d < 320 pc) Perseus, Taurus, Chamaeleon I and II, rho Ophiuchi, and Serpens dark clouds. Thes…

A Disk Shadow Around the Young Star ASR 41 in NGC 1333

Klaus W. Hodapp, Christina H. Walker, Bo Reipurth +4

We present images of the young stellar object ASR 41 in the NGC 1333 star forming region at the wavelengths of H_alpha and [SII] and in the I, J, H, and K-bands. ASR 41 has the nea…

2-D Radiative Transfer in Protostellar Envelopes: II. An Evolutionary Sequence

Barbara A. Whitney, Kenneth Wood, J. E. Bjorkman +1

We present model spectral energy distributions, colors, polarization, and images for an evolutionary sequence of a low-mass protostar from the early collapse stage (Class 0) to the…

The Effect of Multiple Scattering on the Polarization from Binary Star Envelopes. I. Self- and Externally Illuminated Disks

Jennifer L. Hoffman, Barbara A. Whitney, Kenneth H. Nordsieck

We present the results of a Monte Carlo radiative transfer code that calculates the polarization produced by multiple Thomson scattering and variable absorptive opacity in a circum…

A Quantitative Comparison of SMC, LMC, and Milky Way UV to NIR Extinction Curves

Karl D. Gordon, Geoffrey C. Clayton, K. A. Misselt +2

We present an exhaustive, quantitative comparison of all of the known extinction curves in the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds (SMC and LMC) with our understanding of the general…

A Search for Close Binaries in the Rho Ophiuchus Star-Forming Region

M. Barsony, C. Koresko, K. Matthews

We have carried out a new, near-infrared speckle imaging survey of 19 members of the young stellar population in the nearby (d=140 pc), Rho Ophiuchi cloud core. Results for four bi…

2-D Radiative Transfer in Protostellar Envelopes: I. Effects of Geometry on Class I Sources

Barbara A. Whitney, Kenneth Wood, J. E. Bjorkman +1

We present 2-D radiation transfer models of Class I Protostars and show the effect of including more realistic geometries on the resulting spectral energy distributions and images.…

The Far-Infrared Spectral Energy Distributions of X-ray-selected Active Galaxies

J. Kuraszkiewicz, B. J. Wilkes, E. J. Hooper +11

[Abridged] We present ISO far-infrared (IR) observations of 21 hard X-ray selected AGN from the HEAO-1 A2 sample. We compare the far-IR to X-ray spectral energy distributions (SEDs…

Constraints on a planetary origin for the gap in GM Aurigae's protoplanetary disc

W. K. M. Rice, Kenneth Wood, P. J. Armitage +2

The unusual spectral energy distribution (SED) of the classical T Tauri star GM Aurigae provides evidence for the presence of an inner disc hole extending to several au. Using a co…
