APOGEE: The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment
C. Allende Prieto, S. R. Majewski, R. Schiavon +8
APOGEE is a large-scale, NIR, high-resolution (R~20,000) spectroscopic survey of Galactic stars. It is one of the four experiments in SDSS-III. Because APOGEE will observe in the H…
Physical Conditions of Accreting Gas in T Tauri Star Systems
Jeffrey S. Bary, Sean P. Matt, Michael F. Skrutskie +3
We present results from a low resolution (R~300) near-infrared spectroscopic variability survey of actively accreting T Tauri stars (TTS) in the Taurus-Auriga star forming region.…
Near-Infrared Photometry of the Type IIn SN 2005ip: The Case for Dust Condensation
Ori Fox, Michael F. Skrutskie, Roger A. Chevalier +13
Near-infrared photometric observations of the Type IIn SN 2005ip in NGC 2906 reveal large fluxes (>1.3 mJy) in the K_s-band over more than 900 days. While warm dust can explain the…
Near Infrared Monitoring of Ultracool Dwarfs: Prospects for Searching for Transiting Companions
Cullen H. Blake, Joshua S. Bloom, David W. Latham +4
Stars of late-M and L spectral types, collectively known as Ultracool Dwarfs (UCDs), may be excellent targets for searches for extrasolar planets. Owing to their small radii, the s…
New Young Brown Dwarfs in the Orion Molecular Cloud 2/3 Region
Dawn E. Peterson, S. T. Megeath, K. L. Luhman +7
Forty new low mass members with spectral types ranging from M4-M9 have been confirmed in the Orion Molecular Cloud 2/3 region. Through deep, I, z', J, H, K photometry of a 20' x 20…
Observations of the Naked-Eye GRB 080319B: Implications of Nature's Brightest Explosion
J. S. Bloom, D. A. Perley, W. Li +18
The first gamma-ray burst (GRB) confirmed to be bright enough to be seen with the naked eye, GRB 080319B at redshift z = 0.937, allowed for exquisite follow-up observations across…
