A Small Fullerene (C24) may be the Carrier of the 11.2 micron Unidentified Infrared Band

L. S. Bernstein, R. M. Shroll, D. K. Lynch +1

We analyze the 11.2 μm unidentified infrared band (UIR) spectrum from NGC 7027 and identify a small fullerene (C24) as a plausible carrier. The blurring effects of lifetime and vib…

IR study of nova V2468 Cyg from early decline to the coronal phase

A. Raj, N. M. Ashok, Richard J. Rudy +8

We present infrared spectroscopic and photometric observations of the nova V2468 Cyg covering the period from 2008 March 13 till 2008 November 11. The JHK spectra of the object hav…

High-Contrast NIR Polarization Imaging of MWC480

N. Kusakabe, C. A. Grady, M. L. Sitko +52

One of the key predictions of modeling from the IR excess of Herbig Ae stars is that for protoplanetary disks, where significant grain growth and settling has occurred, the dust di…

Variability of Disk Emission in Pre-Main Sequence and Related Stars. II. Variability in the Gas and Dust Emission of the Herbig Fe Star SAO 206462

Michael L. Sitko, Amanda N. Day, Robin L. Kimes +16

We present thirteen epochs of near-infrared (0.8-5 micron) spectroscopic observations of the pre-transitional, "gapped" disk system in SAO 206462 (=HD 135344B). In all, six gas emi…

Mid-Infrared Spectrophotometric Observations of Fragments B and C of Comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3

David E. Harker, Charles E. Woodward, Michael S. Kelley +4

We present mid-infrared spectra and images from the GEMINI-N (+Michelle) observations of fragments SW3-[B] and SW3-[C] of the ecliptic (Jupiter Family) comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachma…

The Transitional Stripped-Envelope SN 2008ax: Spectral Evolution and Evidence for Large Asphericity

R. Chornock, A. V. Filippenko, W. Li +19

Supernova (SN) 2008ax in NGC 4490 was discovered within hours after shock breakout, presenting the rare opportunity to study a core-collapse SN beginning with the initial envelope-…
