The Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) Spectral Library: Cool Stars
J. T. Rayner, M. C. Cushing, W. D. Vacca
We present a 0.8 -5 micron spectral library of 210 cool stars observed at a resolving power of R = lambda / Delta lambda ~ 2000 with the medium-resolution infrared spectrograph, Sp…
Tidal Tails in Interacting Galaxies: Formation of Compact Stellar Structures
B. Mullan, J. C. Charlton, I. S. Konstantopoulos +17
We have used V- and I- band images from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to identify compact stellar clusters within the tidal tails of twelve different interacting galaxies. The s…
The Science Vision for the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA)
T. L. Roellig, E. E. Becklin, N. J. Evans +7
An updated Science Vision for the SOFIA project is presented, including an overview of the characteristics and capabilities of the observatory and first generation instruments. A p…
Evidence for an Edge-On Disk around the Young Star MWC 778 from Infrared Imaging and Polarimetry
Marshall D. Perrin, William D. Vacca, James R. Graham
MWC 778 is an unusual and little-studied young stellar object located in the IC 2144 nebula. Recent spectroscopy by Herbig and Vacca (2008) suggested the presence of an edge-on cir…
2MASS 22344161+4041387AB: A Wide, Young, Accreting, Low-mass Binary in the LkHa233 Group
K. N. Allers, Michael C. Liu, Evgenya Shkolnik +6
We report the discovery of a young, 0.16" binary, 2M2234+4041AB, found as the result of a Keck laser guide star adaptive optics imaging survey of young field ultracool dwarfs. Spat…
