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…

Characterizing Young Brown Dwarfs using Low Resolution Near-IR Spectra

K. N. Allers, D. T. Jaffe, K. L. Luhman +7

We present near-infrared (1.0-2.4 micron) spectra confirming the youth and cool effective temperatures of 6 brown dwarfs and low mass stars with circumstellar disks toward the Cham…

The Mid-Infrared Spectrum of Star-Forming Galaxies: Global Properties of PAH Emission

J. D. T. Smith, B. T. Draine, D. A. Dale +15

We present a sample of low-resolution 5-38um Spitzer IRS spectra of the inner few square kiloparsecs of 59 nearby galaxies spanning a large range of star formation properties. A ro…

Spitzer IRAC Images and Sample Spectra of Cassiopeia A's Explosion

J. A. Ennis, L. Rudnick, W. T. Reach +5

We present Spitzer IRAC images, along with representative 5.27 to 38.5 micron IRS spectra of the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant. We find that various IRAC channels are each most se…
