AGB Stars in the Fornax Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
Patricia A. Whitelock, John W. Menzies, Michael W. Feast +3
We report on a multi-epoch study of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy, made with the Infrared Survey Facility, over an area of about 42'x42'. The colour-magnitude diagram shows a…
Magnetic Field Configuration at the Galactic Center Investigated by Wide Field Near-Infrared Polarimetry
Shogo Nishiyama, Motohide Tamura, Hirofumi Hatano +13
We present a polarimetric map of a 20'x20' area toward the Galactic center. The polarization of point sources has been measured in the J, H, and Ks bands using the near-infrared po…
AKARI/FIS Mapping of the ISM-Wind Bow Shock around Alpha Ori
Toshiya Ueta, Hideyuki Izumiura, Issei Yamamura +7
We present 10' x 50' scan maps around an M supergiant Alpha Ori at 65, 90, 140 and 160 microns obtained with the AKARI Infrared Astronomy Satellite. Higher spatial resolution data…
Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars in the Phoenix Dwarf Galaxy
John Menzies, Michael Feast, Patricia Whitelock +3
JHKs near-infrared photometry of stars in the Phoenix dwarf galaxy is presented and discussed. Combining these data with the optical photometry of Massey et al. allows a rather cle…
AKARI observations of circumstellar dust in the globular clusters NGC104 and NGC362
Yoshifusa Ita, Toshihiko Tanabe, Noriyuki Matsunaga +19
We report preliminary results of AKARI observations of two globular clusters, NGC104 and NGC362. Imaging data covering areas of about 10x10 arcmin^2 centered on the two clusters ha…
An SiO Maser Search off the Galactic Plane
S. Deguchi, T. Fujii, Y. Ita +9
We have searched for the SiO J=1--0 v= 1 and 2 maser lines at ~ 43 GHz in 277 2MASS/MSX/IRAS sources off the Galactic plane (|b|> 3 deg), which resulted in 119 (112 new) detections…
