The Space Infrared Interferometric Telescope (SPIRIT): High-resolution imaging and spectroscopy in the far-infrared
David Leisawitz, Charles Baker, Amy Barger +53
We report results of a recently-completed pre-Formulation Phase study of SPIRIT, a candidate NASA Origins Probe mission. SPIRIT is a spatial and spectral interferometer with an ope…
ExoPTF Science Uniquely Enabled by Far-IR Interferometry: Probing the Formation of Planetary Systems, and Finding and Characterizing Exoplanets
David Leisawitz, Tom Armstrong, Chad Bender +28
By providing sensitive sub-arcsecond images and integral field spectroscopy in the 25 - 400 micron wavelength range, a far-IR interferometer will revolutionize our understanding of…
A search for disks around massive young stellar objects
Andy Gibb, Melvin Hoare, Lee Mundy +1
We present subarcsecond observations at 2.7 and 1.4 mm of a sample of massive young stellar objects made with the BIMA millimetre array. For most sources the continuum emission on…
Subarcsecond Imaging of Hot Cores with BIMA
A. G. Gibb, F. Wyrowski, L. G. Mundy
We present 1.4-mm BIMA observations with subarcsecond resolution of the bright dust and molecular line emission from hot cores associated with a sample of four ultracompact HII reg…
Probing the Invisible Universe: The Case for Far-IR/Submillimeter Interferometry
D. Leisawitz, T. Armstrong, D. Benford +25
The question "How did we get here and what will the future bring?" captures the human imagination and the attention of the National Academy of Science's Astronomy and Astrophysics…
On Turbulent Pressure Confinement of Ultra-Compact HII Regions
Taoling Xie, L. Mundy, S. Vogel +1
It has been proposed recently that the small size and long lifetime of ultra-compact HII regions (UCHIIs) could be due to pressure confinement if the thermal pressure of the ambien…
