Dispersion of Magnetic Fields in Molecular Clouds. I
Roger H. Hildebrand, Larry Kirby, Jessie L. Dotson +2
We describe a method for determining the dispersion of magnetic field vectors about large-scale fields in turbulent molecular clouds. The method is designed to avoid inaccurate est…
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…
New Results on the Submillimeter Polarization Spectrum of the Orion Molecular Cloud
J. E. Vaillancourt, C. D. Dowell, R. H. Hildebrand +7
We have used the SHARP polarimeter at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory to map the polarization at wavelengths of 350 and 450 micron in a ~2 x 3 arcmin region of the Orion Mole…
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…
