Project Lyman
Stephan R. McCandliss, Jeffrey W. Kruk, William P. Blair +20
We explore the design of a space mission, Project Lyman, which has the goal of quantifying the ionization history of the universe from the present epoch to a redshift of z ~ 3. Obs…
Calibration and flight performance of the long-slit imaging dual order spectrograph
Roxana E. Lupu, Stephan R. McCandliss, Brian Fleming +3
We present a preliminary calibration and flight performance of the Long-Slit Imaging Dual Order Spectrograph (LIDOS), a rocket-borne instrument with a large dynamic range in the 90…
The Fourth Positive System of Carbon Monoxide in the Hubble Space Telescope Spectra of Comets
Roxana E. Lupu, Paul D. Feldman, Harold A. Weaver +1
The rich structure of the Fourth Positive System (A-X) of carbon monoxide accounts for many of the spectral features seen in long slit HST-STIS observations of comets 153P/Ikeya-Zh…
A Low-Mass H2 Component to the AU Microscopii Circumstellar Disk
Kevin France, Aki Roberge, Roxana E. Lupu +2
We present a determination of the molecular gas mass in the AU Microscopii circumstellar disk. Direct detection of a gas component to the AU Mic disk has proven elusive, with upper…
A Cometary Bow Shock and Mid-Infrared Emission Variations Revealed in Spitzer Observations of HD 34078 and IC 405
Kevin France, Stephan R. McCandliss, Roxana E. Lupu
We present new infrared observations of the emission/reflection nebula IC 405 obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope. Infrared images in the four IRAC bands (3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and…
Carbon Monoxide in Comet 9P/Tempel 1 before and after the Deep Impact Encounter
Paul D. Feldman, Roxana E. Lupu, Stephan R. McCandliss +4
One of the goals of the Hubble Space Telescope program to observe periodic comet 9P/Tempel 1 in conjunction with NASA's Deep Impact mission was to study the generation and evolutio…
