A Survey of 3 to 5.4 Micron Emission From Planetary Nebulae using SOFIA/FLITECAM
Erin C. Smith, Sarah E. Logsdon, Ian S. McLean +7
Here we present the results of an airborne 3-5.4m spectroscopic study of three young, Carbon-rich planetary nebulae IC 5117, PNG 093.9-00.1, and BD 30 3639. These observation…
Quantifying the Carbon Abundances in the Secondary Stars of SS Cygni, RU Pegasi, and GK Persei
Thomas E. Harrison, Ryan T. Hamilton
We use a modified version of MOOG to generate large grids of synthetic spectra in an attempt to derive quantitative abundances for three CVs (GK Per, RU Peg, and SS Cyg) by compari…
First exoplanet transit observation with the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy: Confirmation of Rayleigh scattering in HD 189733 b with HIPO
Daniel Angerhausen, Georgi Mandushev, Avi Mandell +13
Here we report on the first successful exoplanet transit observation with the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). We observed a single transit of the hot Jupi…
Observations of Type Ia Supernova 2014J with FLITECAM/SOFIA
William D. Vacca, Ryan T. Hamilton, Maureen Savage +9
We present medium resolution near-infrared (NIR) spectra, covering 1.1 to 3.4 microns, of the normal Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) SN 2014J in M82 obtained with the FLITECAM instrument…
Herschel Observations of Cataclysmic Variables
Thomas E. Harrison, Ryan T. Hamilton, Claus Tappert +2
We have used the PACS instrument on the Herschel Space Observatory to observe eight cataclysmic variables at 70 and 160 microns. Of these eight objects, only AM Her was detected. W…
Infrared Spectroscopic Observations of the Secondary Stars of Short Period Sub-Gap Cataclysmic Variables
Ryan T. Hamilton, Thomas E. Harrison, Claus Tappert +1
We present K-band spectroscopy of short period, "sub-gap" cataclysmic variable (CV) systems obtained using ISAAC on the VLT. We show the infrared spectra (IR) for nine systems belo…
A multi-wavelength study of the young star V1118 Orionis in outburst
M. Audard, G. S. Stringfellow, M. Güdel +6
Abriged version for astroph: The young late-type star V1118 Orionis was in outburst from 2005 to 2006. We followed the outburst with optical and near-infrared photometry; the X-ray…
