The SOFIA Observatory at the Start of Routine Science Operations : Mission capabilities and performance
Pasquale Temi, Pamela M. Marcum, Erick Young +65
The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) has recently concluded a set of engineering flights for Observatory performance evaluation. These in-flight opportuniti…
H2 Excitation Structure on the Sightlines to delta Scorpius and zeta Ophiucus - First Results from the Sub-orbital Local Interstellar Cloud Experiment
Kevin France, Nicholas Nell, Robert Kane +3
We present the first science results from the Sub-orbital Local Interstellar Cloud Experiment (SLICE): moderate resolution 1020-1070A spectroscopy of four sightlines through the lo…
Probing the Inner Regions of Protoplanetary Disks with CO Absorption Line Spectroscopy
Matthew McJunkin, Kevin France, Eric B. Burgh +4
Carbon monoxide (CO) is the most commonly used tracer of molecular gas in the inner regions of protoplanetary disks. CO can be used to constrain the excitation and structure of the…
From Protoplanetary Disks to Extrasolar Planets: Understanding the Life Cycle of Circumstellar Gas with Ultraviolet Spectroscopy
Kevin France, Matthew Beasley, David R. Ardila +20
Few scientific discoveries have captured the public imagination like the explosion of exoplanetary science during the past two decades. This work has fundamentally changed our pict…
Characterizing CO Fourth Positive Emission in Young Circumstellar Disks
Rebecca Schindhelm, Kevin France, Eric Burgh +5
Carbon Monoxide is a commonly used IR/sub-mm tracer of gas in protoplanetary disks. We present an analysis of ultraviolet CO emission in {HST}-COS spectra for 12 Classical T Tauri…
The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph
James C. Green, Cynthia S. Froning, Steve Osterman +23
The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) is a moderate-resolution spectrograph with unprecedented sensitivity that was installed into the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in May 2009, dur…
