An Infrared Spectroscopic Sequence of M, L and T Dwarfs

Michael C. Cushing, John T. Rayner, William D. Vacca

We present a 0.6-4.1 micron spectroscopic sequence of M, L, and T dwarfs. The spectra have R~2000 from 0.9 to 2.4 microns and R=2500-200 from 2.9 to 4.1 microns. These new data nea…

Mass Segregation and the Initial Mass Function of Super Star Cluster M82-F

Nate McCrady, James R. Graham, William D. Vacca

We investigate the Initial Mass Function and mass segregation in super star cluster M82-F with high resolution Keck/NIRSPEC echelle spectroscopy. Cross-correlation with template su…

Near-Infrared Spectroscopy of McNeil's Nebula Object

W. D. Vacca, M. C. Cushing, T. Simon

We present 0.8-5.2 micron spectroscopy of the compact source at the base of a variable nebula (McNeil's Nebula Object) in the Lynds 1630 dark cloud that went into outburst in late…

The Host Galaxy of GRB 031203: Implications of its low metallicity, low redshift, and starburst nature

Jason X. Prochaska, Joshua S. Bloom, Hsiao-Wen Chen +6

We present Keck/NIRSPEC near-IR images and Magellan/IMACS optical spectroscopy of the host galaxy of GRB 031203. The host is an actively star-forming galaxy at z=0.1055 +/- 0.0001.…

Non-Linearity Corrections and Statistical Uncertainties Associated with Near-Infrared Arrays

W. D. Vacca, M. C. Cushing, J. T. Rayner

We derive general equations for non-linearity corrections and statistical uncertainty (variance) estimates for data acquired with near-infrared detectors employing correlated doubl…
