Dust Production Rates in the Fomalhaut Debris Disk from SOFIA/FORCAST Mid-infrared Imaging
J. D. Adams, T. L. Herter, R. M. Lau +2
We present the first spatially resolved mid-infrared (37.1 m) image of the Fomalhaut debris disk. We use PSF fitting and subtraction to distinctly measure the flux from the unre…
SOFIA/FORCAST Imaging of the Circumnuclear Ring at the Galactic Center
R. M. Lau, T. L. Herter, M. R. Morris +2
We present 19.7, 31.5, and 37.1 μm images of the inner 6 pc of the Galactic Center of the Milky Way with a spatial resolution of 3.2 - 4.6'' taken by the Faint Object Infrared Came…
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: 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…
First science results from SOFIA/FORCAST: The mid-infrared view of the compact HII region W3A
F. Salgado, O. Berne, J. D. Adams +11
The massive star forming region W3 was observed with the faint object infrared camera for the SOFIA telescope (FORCAST) as part of the Short Science program. The 6.4, 6.6, 7.7, 19.…
Comet 162P/Siding Spring: A Surprisingly Large Nucleus
Y. R. Fernandez, H. Campins, M. Kassis +5
We present an analysis of thermal emission from comet 162P/Siding Spring (P/2004 TU12) measured during its discovery apparition in 2004 December. The comet showed no dust coma at t…
