The TEXES Survey For H2 Emission From Protoplanetary Disks
M. A. Bitner, M. J. Richter, J. H. Lacy +9
We report the results of a search for pure rotational molecular hydrogen emission from the circumstellar environments of young stellar objects with disks using the Texas Echelon Cr…
TEXES Observations of Pure Rotational H2 Emission From AB Aurigae
M. A. Bitner, M. J. Richter, J. H. Lacy +3
We present observations of pure rotational molecular hydrogen emission from the Herbig Ae star, AB Aurigae. Our observations were made using the Texas Echelon Cross Echelle Spectro…
Near-Infrared Spectra of the Black Hole X-Ray Binary, A0620-00
C. S. Froning, E. L. Robinson, M. A. Bitner
We present broadband NIR spectra of A0620-00 obtained with SpeX on the IRTF. The spectrum is characterized by a blue continuum on which are superimposed broad emission lines of HI…
The Masses and Evolutionary State of the Stars in the Dwarf Nova SS Cygni
Martin A. Bitner, Edward L. Robinson, Bradford B. Behr
The dwarf nova SS Cygni is a close binary star consisting of a K star transferring mass to a white dwarf by way of an accretion disk. We have obtained new spectroscopic observation…
W51 IRS 2: A Massive Jet Emerging from a Molecular Cloud into an H II Region
J. H. Lacy, D. T. Jaffe, Q. Zhu +6
We have mapped [Ne II] (12.8um) and [S IV] (10.5um) emission from W51 IRS 2 with TEXES on Gemini North, and we compare these data to VLA free-free observations and VLT near-infrare…
Observational Constraints Upon Cool Disk Material in Quiescent Black Hole Binaries
R. I. Hynes, E. L. Robinson, M. Bitner
We consider current observational constraints on the presence of cool, optically thick disk material in quiescent black hole binaries, specifically focusing on a case study of the…
