The Removal of Artificially Generated Polarization in SHARP Maps
Michael Attard, Martin Houde, Giles Novak +1
We characterize the problem of artificial polarization for the Submillimeter High Angular Resolution Polarimeter (SHARP) through the use of simulated data and observations made at…
Simultaneous Determination of the Cosmic Ray Ionization Rate and Fractional Ionization in DR21(OH)
T. Hezareh, M. Houde, C. McCoey +2
We present a new method for the simultaneous calculation of the cosmic ray ionization rate, zeta(H2), and the ionization fraction, chi(e), in dense molecular clouds. A simple netwo…
The Hertz/VPM polarimeter: Design and first light observations
Megan Krejny, David Chuss, Christian Drouet d'Aubigny +10
We present first results of Hertz/VPM, the first submillimeter polarimeter employing the dual Variable-delay Polarization Modulator (dual-VPM). This device differs from previously…
An Upper Limit on Gas Production from 3200 Phaethon
Paul A. Wiegert, Martin Houde, Ruisheng Peng
Asteroid 3200 Phaethon resembles a comet in some ways, including a highly-eccentric orbit (e=0.89) and a strong associated meteor shower (the Geminids). Yet this object has never b…
The James Clerk Maxwell Telescope Legacy Survey of Nearby Star-forming Regions in the Gould Belt
D. Ward-Thompson, J. Di Francesco, J. Hatchell +59
This paper describes a James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) legacy survey that has been awarded roughly 500 hrs of observing time to be carried out from 2007 to 2009. In this surve…
Astronomical Image Processing with Array Detectors
Martin Houde, John E. Vaillancourt
We address the question of astronomical image processing from data obtained with array detectors. We define and analyze the cases of evenly, regularly, and irregularly sampled maps…
