Social Networking: An astronomer's field guide
E. L. Gomez, H. L. Gomez, J. Yardley
We present a brief introduction to the phenomenon of "social networking" and its potentially powerful use as an astronomy outreach and educational tool. We briefly discuss the deve…
Carbon Monoxide in the Cassiopeia A Supernova Remnant
J. Rho, T. H. Jarrett, W. T. Reach +2
We report the likely detection of near-infrared 2.29 m first overtone Carbon Monoxide (CO) emission from the young supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A). The continuum-subtract…
Dust Formation Observed in Young Supernova Remnants with Spitzer
J. Rho, W. T. Reach, A. Tappe +8
We present dust features and masses observed in young supernova remnants (SNRs) with Spitzer IRS mapping and staring observations of four youngest supernova remnants: SNR 1E102.2-7…
Cassiopeia A: dust factory revealed via submillimetre polarimetry
L. Dunne, S. J. Maddox, R. J. Ivison +7
If Type-II supernovae - the evolutionary end points of short-lived, massive stars - produce a significant quantity of dust (>0.1 M_sun) then they can explain the rest-frame far-inf…
Freshly Formed Dust in the Cassiopeia A Supernova Remnant as Revealed by the Spitzer Space Telescope
J. Rho, T. Kozasa, W. T. Reach +6
We performed Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph mapping observations covering nearly the entire extent of the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant (SNR), producing mid-infrared (5.5-35 micron…
Smoking Supernovae
H L Gomez, S A Eales, L Dunne
The question "Are supernovae important sources of dust?" is a contentious one. Observations with the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) and the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO)…
