First Constraints on Source Counts at 350 Microns
Sophia A. Khan, Richard A. Shafer, Stephen Serjeant +16
We have imaged a 6 arcminute region in the Boötes Deep Field using the 350 m-optimised second generation Submillimeter High Angular Resolution Camera (SHARC II), achie…
On the discovery of the first 350 micron-selected galaxy
Sophia A. Khan, Richard A. Shafer, Dominic J. Benford +17
We report the detection of a 3.6sigma 350micron-selected source in the Bootes Deep Field. The source, the first Short-wavelength Submillimeter-selected Galaxy (SSG 1), was discover…
Resolving IRAS 09111-1007 at 350 microns - a different path to ULIRG formation?
Sophia A. Khan, Dominic J. Benford, David L. Clements +3
We have resolved the ultraluminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG), IRAS 09111-1007, with the new 350 micron-optimised Second Generation Submillimeter High Angular Resolution Camera (SHARC…
The X-ray Halo of GX 13+1
Randall K. Smith, Richard J. Edgar, Richard A. Shafer
We present observations of the X-ray halo around the LMXB GX 13+1 from the Chandra X-ray telescope. The halo is caused by scattering in interstellar dust grains, and we use it to d…
Submillimeter and Far-InfraRed Experiment (SAFIRE): A PI class instrument for SOFIA
R. A. Shafer, S. H. Moseley, P. A. R. Ade +7
SAFIRE is a versatile imaging Fabry-Perot spectrograph covering 145 to 655 microns, with spectral resolving powers ranging over 5-10,000. Selected as a "PI" instrument for the airb…
Calibrator Design for the COBE Far Infrared Absolute Spectrophotometer (FIRAS)
J. C. Mather, D. J. Fixsen, R. A. Shafer +2
The photometric errors of the external calibrator for the FIRAS instrument on the COBE are smaller than the measurement errors on the cosmic microwave background (CMBR) spectrum (t…
