A Detailed Analysis of the Dust Formation Zone of IRC+10216 Derived from Mid-IR Bands of C2H2 and HCN
J. P. Fonfría, J. Cernicharo, M. J. Richter +1
A spectral survey of IRC+10216 has been carried out in the range 11 to 14 um with a spectral resolution of about 4 km s^-1. We have identified a forest of lines in six bands of C2H…
H_2 Pure Rotational Lines in the Orion Bar
K. N. Allers, D. T. Jaffe, J. H. Lacy +2
Using the Texas Echelon Cross Echelle Spectrograph (TEXES) we mapped emission in the H_2 v = 0-0 S(1) and S(2) lines toward the Orion Bar PDR at 2" resolution. We also observed H_2…
Propane on Titan
H. G. Roe, T. K. Greathouse, M. J. Richter +1
We present the first observations of propane (CH) on Titan that unambiguously resolve propane features from other numerous stratospheric emissions. This is accomplished usi…
Observations of [S IV] 10.5 micron and [Ne II] 12.8 micron in Two Halo Planetary Nebulae: Implications for Chemical Self-Enrichment
Harriet L. Dinerstein, Matthew J. Richter, John H. Lacy +1
We have detected the [S IV] 10.5 micron and [Ne II] 12.8 micron fine-structure lines in the halo population planetary nebula (PN) DdDm 1, and set upper limits on their intensities…
TEXES: A Sensitive High-Resolution Grating Spectrograph for the Mid-Infrared
J. H. Lacy, M. J. Richter, T. K. Greathouse +2
We discuss the design and performance of TEXES, the Texas Echelon Cross Echelle Spectrograph. TEXES is a mid-infrared (5-25 um) spectrograph with several operating modes: high-reso…
