JHK Observations of Faint Standard Stars in the Mauna Kea Near-Infrared Photometric System
S. K. Leggett, M. J. Currie, W. P. Varricatt +10
JHK photometry in the Mauna Kea Observatory (MKO) near-IR system is presented for 115 stars. Of these, 79 are UKIRT standards and 42 are LCO standards. The average brightness is 11…
A multi-object, multi-field spectrometer and imager for a European ELT
Chris Evans, Colin Cunningham, Eli Atad-Ettedgui +11
One of the highlights of the European ELT Science Case book is the study of resolved stellar populations, potentially out to the Virgo Cluster of galaxies. A European ELT would ena…
L' and M' Standard Stars for the Mauna Kea Observatories Near-Infrared System
S. K. Leggett, T. G. Hawarden, M. J. Currie +7
We present L'and M' photometry, obtained at UKIRT using the Mauna Kea Observatories Near-IR filter set, for 46 and 31 standard stars, respectively. The L' standards include 25 from…
Seeing statistics at the upgraded 3.8m UK infrared telescope (UKIRT)
Marc S. Seigar, Andy J. Adamson, Nicholas P. Rees +3
From 1991 until 1997, the 3.8m UK Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) underwent a programme of upgrades aimed at improving its intrinsic optical performance. This resulted in images with a…
Deep Submillimeter Imaging of Dust Structures in Centaurus A
Lerothodi L. Leeuw, Tim G. Hawarden, Henry E. Matthews +2
Images covering the central 450 by 100 arcsecond (about 8.0 by 2.0 kpc) of NGC 5128 (Centaurus A) obtained using SCUBA at 850 and 450 micron with beam sizes of 14.5 and 8 arcsecond…
The impact of bars on the mid-infrared dust emission of spiral galaxies: global and circumnuclear properties
H. Roussel, M. Sauvage, L. Vigroux +6
We study the mid-infrared properties of a sample of 69 nearby spiral galaxies, selected to avoid Seyfert activity contributing a significant fraction of the central energetics, or…
