Commissioning of the MIRAC-5 Mid-Infrared Instrument on the MMT
Rory Bowens, Jarron Leisenring, Michael R. Meyer +11
We present results from commissioning observations of the mid-IR instrument, MIRAC-5, on the 6.5-m MMT telescope. MIRAC-5 is a novel ground-based instrument that utilizes a state-o…
The Near-Earth Object Surveyor Mission
A. K. Mainzer, Joseph R. Masiero, Paul A. Abell +34
The Near-Earth Object (NEO) Surveyor mission is a NASA observatory designed to discover and characterize near-Earth asteroids and comets. The mission's primary objective is to find…
Evaluating the GeoSnap 13-m Cut-Off HgCdTe Detector for mid-IR ground-based astronomy
Jarron M. Leisenring, Dani Atkinson, Rory Bowens +13
New mid-infrared HgCdTe (MCT) detector arrays developed in collaboration with Teledyne Imaging Sensors (TIS) have paved the way for improved 10-m sensors for space- and ground-b…
MIRAC-5: A ground-based mid-IR instrumentwith the potential to detect ammonia in gas giants
R. Bowens, J. Leisenring, M. R. Meyer +12
We present the fifth incarnation of the Mid-Infrared Array Camera (MIRAC-5) instrument which will use a new GeoSnap (3 - 13 microns) detector. Advances in adaptive optics (AO) syst…
Characterization of a 15 Cutoff HgCdTe Detector Array for Astronomy
Mario S. Cabrera, Craig W. McMurtry, William J. Forrest +3
The University of Rochester infrared detector group is working together with Teledyne Imaging Sensors to develop HgCdTe 15 cutoff wavelength detector arrays for future space m…
Development of 13 Cutoff HgCdTe Detector Arrays for Astronomy
Mario S. Cabrera, Craig W. McMurtry, Meghan L. Dorn +3
Building on the successful development of the 10 HgCdTe detector arrays for the proposed NEOCam mission, the University of Rochester Infrared Detector team and Teledyne Imagin…
Proton irradiation results for long-wave HgCdTe infrared detector arrays for NEOCam
M. Dorn, J. L. Pipher, C. McMurtry +6
HgCdTe detector arrays with a cutoff wavelength of ~10 m intended for the NEOCam space mission were subjected to proton beam irradiation at the University of California Davis Cr…
Development of sensitive long-wave infrared detector arrays for passively cooled space missions
Craig McMurtry, Donald Lee, James Beletic +10
The near-earth object camera (NEOCam) is a proposed infrared space mission designed to discover and characterize most of the potentially hazardous asteroids larger than 140 m in di…
Constraints on the Universal CIV Mass Density at z~6 from Early IR Spectra Obtained with the Magellan FIRE Spectrograph
Robert A. Simcoe, Kathy L. Cooksey, Michael E. Matejek +9
We present a new determination of the intergalactic CIV mass density at 4.3 < z < 6.3. Our constraints are derived from high signal-to-noise spectra of seven quasars at z > 5.8 obt…
Cool Star Science with the FIRE Spectrograph
Adam J. Burgasser, Robert A. Simcoe, John J. Bochanski +7
The Folded-port InfraRed Echellette (FIRE) has recently been commissioned on the Magellan 6.5m Baade Telescope. This single object, near-infrared spectrometer simultaneously covers…
Clouds in the Coldest Brown Dwarfs: FIRE Spectroscopy of Ross 458C
Adam J. Burgasser, Robert A. Simcoe, John J. Bochanski +7
Condensate clouds are a salient feature of L dwarf atmospheres, but have been assumed to play little role in shaping the spectra of the coldest T-type brown dwarfs. Here we report…
