Mid-infrared VISIR and Spitzer observations of the surroundings of the magnetar SGR 1806-20
F. Rahoui, S. Chaty, P. O. Lagage
We report mid-infrared observations of SGR 1806-20 and its environment - with the highest spatial resolution in this domain to date - using ESO/VISIR in 2005 and 2006, and we retri…
Searching for molecular hydrogen mid-infrared emission in the circumstellar environments of Herbig Be stars
C. Martin-Zaidi, E. F. van Dishoeck, J. -C. Augereau +2
Context: Molecular hydrogen (H2) is the most abundant molecule in the circumstellar (CS) environments of young stars, and is a key element in giant planet formation. The measuremen…
Extremely massive young clusters in NGC1365
E. Galliano, D. Alloin, E. Pantin +5
In a previous work, three bright MIR/radio sources were discovered in the nuclear region of NGC1365. We here confirm that these sources are young and massive ``embedded'' clusters,…
METIS - the Mid-infrared E-ELT Imager and Spectrograph
Bernhard R. Brandl, Rainer Lenzen, Eric Pantin +19
METIS, the Mid-infrared ELT Imager and Spectrograph (formerly called MIDIR), is a proposed instrument for the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT), currently undergoing a pha…
Nuclear activity in nearby galaxies: Mid-infrared imaging with the VLT
R. Siebenmorgen, M. Haas, E. Pantin +7
Dust enshrouded activity can ideally be studied by mid-infrared (MIR) observations. In order to explore the AGN versus star forming origin of the nuclear MIR emission of galaxies,…
Submm/FIR astronomy in Antarctica: Potential for a large telescope facility
Vincent Minier, V. Minier, L. Olmi +14
Preliminary site testing datasets suggest that Dome C in Antarctica is one of the best sites on Earth for astronomical observations in the 200 to 500 micron regime, i.e. for far-in…
