Development of the Fabry-Perot interferometers for the HIRMES spectrometer on SOFIA
Greg Douthit, Gordon Stacey, Thomas Nikola +5
HIRMES is a far-infrared spectrometer that was chosen as the third generation instrument for NASA's SOFIA airborne observatory. HIRMES promises background limited performance in fo…
Mid-Infrared Imaging of the Bipolar Planetary Nebula M2-9 from SOFIA
M. W. Werner, R. Sahai, J. Davis +10
We have imaged the bipolar planetary nebula M2-9 using SOFIA's FORCAST instrument in six wavelength bands between 6.6 and 37.1 . A bright central point source, unresolved with…
SOFIA/FORCAST and Spitzer/IRAC Imaging of the Ultra Compact H II Region W3(OH) and Associated Protostars in W3
Lea Hirsch, Joseph D. Adams, Terry L. Herter +8
We present infrared observations of the ultra-compact H II region W3(OH) made by the FORCAST instrument aboard SOFIA and by Spitzer/IRAC. We contribute new wavelength data to the s…
Mid-IR FORCAST/SOFIA Observations of M82
T. Nikola, T. L. Herter, W. D. Vacca +9
We present 75"x75" size maps of M82 at 6.4 micron, 6.6 micron, 7.7 micron, 31.5 micron, and 37.1 micron with a resolution of ~4" that we have obtained with the mid-IR camera FORCAS…
First Science Observations with SOFIA/FORCAST: 6 to 37 micron Imaging of the Central Orion Nebula
R. Y. Shuping, Mark R. Morris, Terry L. Herter +9
We present new mid-infrared images of the central region of the Orion Nebula using the newly commissioned SOFIA airborne telescope and its 5 -- 40 micron camera FORCAST. The 37.1 m…
First Science Observations with SOFIA/FORCAST: The FORCAST Mid-infrared Camera
T. L. Herter, J. D. Adams, J. M. De Buizer +7
The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) completed its first light flight in May of 2010 using the facility mid-infrared instrument FORCAST. Since then, FORCAST…
