Frying Doughnuts: What can the reprocessing of X-rays to IR tell us about the AGN environment?
B. McKernan, K. E. S. Ford, N. Chang +1
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) produce vast amounts of high energy radiation deep in their central engines. X-rays either escape the AGN or are absorbed and re-emitted mostly as IR.…
Detection of OH Towards the Extreme Carbon Star IRC+10216
K. E. S. Ford, D. A. Neufeld, P. F. Goldsmith +1
We report the detection of the 1665 and 1667 MHz main lines of OH (hydroxyl) and upper limits on the 1612 MHz satellite line of OH towards the carbon-rich AGB star, IRC+10216. We f…
Discovery of water vapor around IRC+10216 as evidence for comets orbiting another star
Gary J. Melnick, David A. Neufeld, K. E. Saavik Ford +2
Since 1995, astronomers have discovered planets with masses comparable to that of Jupiter (318 times Earth's mass) in orbit around approximately 60 stars. Although unseen directly,…
