New Horizons Observations of the Cosmic Optical Background

Tod R. Lauer, Marc Postman, Harold A. Weaver +26

We used existing data from the New Horizons LORRI camera to measure the optical-band () sky brightness within seven high galactic latitude fields. T…

A Principal Component Analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission in NGC 2023

Ameek Sidhu, Els Peeters, Jan Cami +1

We use the measured fluxes of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission features at 6.2, 7.7, 8.6, 11.0 and 11.2 m in the reflection nebula NGC 2023 to carry out a principa…

A Galactic Dust Devil: far-infrared observations of the Tornado Supernova Remnant candidate

Hannah Chawner, Alex D. P. Howard, Haley L. Gomez +10

We present complicated dust structures within multiple regions of the candidate supernova remnant (SNR) the `Tornado' (G357.7-0.1) using observations with Spitzer and Herschel. We…

Distribution of Water Vapor in Molecular Clouds. II

Gary J. Melnick, Volker Tolls, Ronald L. Snell +8

The depth-dependent abundance of both gas-phase and solid-state water within dense, quiescent, molecular clouds is important to both the cloud chemistry and gas cooling. Where wate…

Probing the size and charge of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

A. Maragkoudakis, E. Peeters, A. Ricca

We present a new method to accurately describe the ionization fraction and the size distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) within astrophysical sources. To this pu…

Are the Carriers of Diffuse Interstellar Bands and Extended Red Emission the same?

Thomas S. -Y. Lai, Adolf N. Witt, Carlos Alvarez +1

We report the first spectroscopic observations of a background star seen through the region between the ionization front and the dissociation front of the nebula IC 63. This photod…

A Complete Catalogue of Dusty Supernova Remnants

Hannah Chawner, Haley Gomez, Mikako Matsuura +9

We search for far-infrared (FIR) counterparts of known supernova remnants (SNRs) in the Galactic plane (360 degrees in longitude and b = +/- 1 deg ) at 70 - 500 micron with Hersche…
