New Worlds on the Horizon: Earth-Sized Planets Close to Other Stars
Eric Gaidos, Nader Haghighipour, Eric Agol +3
The search for habitable planets like Earth around other stars fulfils an ancient imperative to understand our origins and place in the cosmos. The past decade has seen the discove…
An Infrared Spectroscopic Sequence of M, L and T Dwarfs
Michael C. Cushing, John T. Rayner, William D. Vacca
We present a 0.6-4.1 micron spectroscopic sequence of M, L, and T dwarfs. The spectra have R~2000 from 0.9 to 2.4 microns and R=2500-200 from 2.9 to 4.1 microns. These new data nea…
X-Ray and Infrared Observations of Embedded Young Stars in L1630
T. Simon, S. M. Andrews, J. T. Rayner +1
The HH 24-26 star-forming region within the L1630 dark cloud in Orion contains a remarkable collection of rare Class 0 and Class I protostars, collimated molecular and ionized jets…
Non-Linearity Corrections and Statistical Uncertainties Associated with Near-Infrared Arrays
W. D. Vacca, M. C. Cushing, J. T. Rayner
We derive general equations for non-linearity corrections and statistical uncertainty (variance) estimates for data acquired with near-infrared detectors employing correlated doubl…
A Method of Correcting Near-Infrared Spectra for Telluric Absorption
William D. Vacca, Michael C. Cushing, John T. Rayner
We present a method for correcting near-infrared medium-resolution spectra for telluric absorption. The method makes use of a spectrum of an A0V star, observed near in time and clo…
FeH Absorption in the Near-Infrared Spectra of Late M and L Dwarfs
M. C. Cushing, J. T. Rayner, S. P. Davis +1
We present medium-resolution z-, J-, and H-band spectra of four late-type dwarfs with spectral types ranging from M8 to L7.5. In an attempt to determine the origin of numerous weak…
