The Orion Molecular Cloud 2/3 and NGC 1977 Regions
Dawn E. Peterson, Tom Megeath
The Orion Molecular Cloud 2/3 region (hereafter, OMC-2/3) and the reflection nebula NGC 1977 encompass a section of the Orion A molecular cloud undergoing vigorous star forming act…
Physical Conditions of Accreting Gas in T Tauri Star Systems
Jeffrey S. Bary, Sean P. Matt, Michael F. Skrutskie +3
We present results from a low resolution (R~300) near-infrared spectroscopic variability survey of actively accreting T Tauri stars (TTS) in the Taurus-Auriga star forming region.…
New Young Brown Dwarfs in the Orion Molecular Cloud 2/3 Region
Dawn E. Peterson, S. T. Megeath, K. L. Luhman +7
Forty new low mass members with spectral types ranging from M4-M9 have been confirmed in the Orion Molecular Cloud 2/3 region. Through deep, I, z', J, H, K photometry of a 20' x 20…
Searching for hidden Wolf-Rayet stars in the Galactic Plane - 15 new Wolf-Rayet stars
L. J. Hadfield, S. D. Van Dyk, P. W. Morris +3
We report the discovery of fifteen previously unknown Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars found as part of an infrared broad-band study of candidate WR stars in the Galaxy. We have derived an em…
Spectroscopic Confirmation of the Least Massive Known Brown Dwarf in Chamaeleon
K. L. Luhman, Dawn E. Peterson, S. T. Megeath
We present spectroscopy of two candidate substellar members of the Chamaeleon I star-forming region. The candidates, which were identified photometrically by Oasa, Tamura, & Sugita…
