CanariCam Mid-Infrared Drift Scanning: Improved Sensitivity and Spatial Resolution
Amílcar R. Torres-Quijano, Christopher Packham, Sergio Fernandez Acosta
Ground-based mid-infrared (MIR) astronomical observations require the removal of the fast time variable components of (a) sky/background variation and (b) array background. Typical…
GTC/CanariCam deep mid-infrared imaging survey of northern stars within 5 pc
Bartosz Gauza, Víctor J. S. Béjar, Rafael Rebolo +7
In this work we present the results of a direct imaging survey for brown dwarf companions around the nearest stars at the mid-infrared 10 micron range (=8.7m, =1.1…
Hypercubes of AGN Tori (HYPERCAT) -- II. Resolving the Torus with Extremely Large Telescopes
R. Nikutta, E. Lopez-Rodriguez, K. Ichikawa +4
Recent infrared interferometric observations revealed sub-parsec scale dust distributions around active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Using images of CLUMPY torus models and NGC 1068 as…
Hypercubes of AGN Tori (HYPERCAT) -- I. Models and Image Morphology
R. Nikutta, E. Lopez-Rodriguez, K. Ichikawa +4
Near- and mid-infrared interferometers have resolved the dusty parsec-scale obscurer (torus) around nearby active galactic nuclei (AGNs). With the arrival of extremely large single…
The Galaxy Activity, Torus and Outflow Survey (GATOS): II. Torus and polar dust emission in nearby Seyfert galaxies
A. Alonso-Herrero, S. García-Burillo, S. F. Hoenig +30
We compare mid-IR and ALMA far-IR images of 12 nearby Seyferts selected from GATOS. The mid-IR unresolved emission contributes more than 60% of the nuclear emission in most galaxie…
Mid-Infrared Drift Scanning Up The SNR Slope
Christopher Packham, Amílcar R. Torres-Quijano, Sergio Fernandez Acosta
Mid-infrared (MIR) observations are typically accomplished from the ground through oscillating the secondary mirror a few times a second. This chopping serves to remove the fast ti…
