Near-Infrared Imaging Polarimetry of S106 Cluster-Forming Region with SIRPOL

Hiro Saito, Motohide Tamura, Ryo Kandori +7

We present the results of wide-field JHKs polarimetry toward the HII region S106 using the IRSF (Infrared Survey Facility) telescope. Our polarimetry data revealed an extended (up…

AKARI IRC survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud: Outline of the survey and initial results

Yoshifusa Ita, Takashi Onaka, Daisuke Kato +13

We observed an area of 10 deg^2 of the Large Magellanic Cloud using the Infrared Camera on board AKARI. The observations were carried out using five imaging filters (3, 7, 11, 15,…

Near-Infrared Polarimetry of the Eagle Nebula (M16)

Koji Sugitani, Makoto Watanabe, Motohide Tamura +10

We carried out deep and wide (about 8' x 8') JHKs imaging polarimetry in the southern region of the Eagle Nebula (M16). The polarization intensity map reveals that two YSOs with ne…

The Distance to the Galactic Center Derived From Infrared Photometry of Bulge Red Clump Stars

Shogo Nishiyama, Tetsuya Nagata, Shuji Sato +7

On the basis of the near infrared observations of bulge red clump stars near the Galactic center, we have determined the galactocentric distance to be R_0 = 7.52 +- 0.10 (stat) +-…
