A CH3CN and HCO+ survey towards southern methanol masers associated with star formation
C. R. Purcell, R. Balasubramanyam, M. G. Burton +32
We present the initial results of a 3-mm spectral line survey towards 83 methanol maser selected massive star-forming regions. Here we report observations of the J=5-4 and 6-5 rota…
A review of optical sky brightness and extinction at Dome C, Antarctica
Suzanne L. Kenyon, John W. V. Storey
The recent discovery of exceptional seeing conditions at Dome C, Antarctica, raises the possibility of constructing an optical observatory there with unique capabilities. However,…
Science Programs for a 2 m-class Telescope at Dome C, Antarctica: PILOT, the Pathfinder for an International Large Optical Telescope
M. G. Burton, J. Lawrence, M. C. B. Ashley +24
The cold, dry and stable air above the summits of the Antarctic plateau provides the best ground-based observing conditions from optical to sub-mm wavelengths to be found on the Ea…
Unlocking the Keyhole - H2 and PAH emission from molecular clumps in the Keyhole Nebula
K. J. Brooks, M. G. Burton, J. M. Rathborne +2
To better understand the environment surrounding CO emission clumps in the Keyhole Nebula, we have made images of the region in H2 1-0 S(1) (2.122 um) emission and polycyclic aroma…
UNSWIRF: A Tunable Imaging Spectrometer for the Near-Infrared
Stuart D. Ryder, Yin-Sheng Sun, Michael C. B. Ashley +3
We describe the specifications, characteristics, calibration, and analysis of data from the University of New South Wales Infrared Fabry-Perot (UNSWIRF) etalon. UNSWIRF is a near-i…
Molecular Hydrogen Line Emission from the Reflection Nebula Parsamyan 18
S. D. Ryder, L. E. Allen, M. G. Burton +2
The newly-commissioned University of New South Wales Infrared Fabry-Perot (UNSWIRF) has been used to image molecular hydrogen emission at 2.12 and 2.25 microns in the reflection ne…
