A Tale of Two Sightlines: Comparison of Hydrocarbon Dust Absorption Bands toward Cygnus OB2-12 and the Galactic Center
Yvonne J. Pendleton, T. R. Geballe, Laurie E. U. Chu +14
Infrared spectra of hydrocarbon dust absorption bands toward the bright hypergiant Cygnus OB2-12 are compared to published spectra of the Quintuplet Cluster, a sightline to the Gal…
The Discovery of 25 um Interstellar Methanol
Sarah L. Nickerson, Naseem Rangwala, Keeyoon Sung +15
We present the first astrophysical detection of methanol (CH3OH) in the torsional band near 25 um. Using high resolution mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy, we identified over seventy…
High-resolution SOFIA/EXES Spectroscopy of Water Absorption Lines in the Massive Young Binary W3 IRS 5
Jialu Li, Adwin Boogert, Andrew G. Barr +9
We present in this paper mid-infrared (5-8~m) spectroscopy toward the massive young binary W3~IRS~5, using the EXES spectrometer in high-resolution mode (50,000) from the…
Uncooled Microbolometer Arrays for Ground Based Astronomy
Maisie F. Rashman, Iain A. Steele, Stuart D. Bates +2
We describe the design and commissioning of a simple prototype, low-cost 10m imaging instrument. The system is built using commercially available components including an uncoole…
Optimising observing strategies for monitoring animals using drone-mounted thermal infrared cameras
Claire Burke, Maisie Rashman, Serge Wich +3
The proliferation of relatively affordable off-the-shelf drones offers great opportunities for wildlife monitoring and conservation. Similarly the recent reduction in cost of therm…
Addressing environmental and atmospheric challenges for capturing high-precision thermal infrared data in the field of astro-ecology
Claire Burke, Maisie F. Rashman, Owen McAree +4
Using thermal infrared detectors mounted on drones, and applying techniques from astrophysics, we hope to support the field of conservation ecology by creating an automated pipelin…
