Spectral classification of the brightest objects in the galactic star forming region W40
R. Y. Shuping, William D. Vacca, Marc Kassis +1
We present high S/N, moderate resolution near-infrared spectra, as well as 10 micron imaging, for the brightest members of the central stellar cluster in the W40 HII region, obtain…
Early Science with SOFIA, the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy
E. T. Young, E. E. Becklin, P. M. Marcum +38
The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) is an airborne observatory consisting of a specially modified Boeing 747SP with a 2.7-m telescope, flying at altitudes…
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: 6 TO 37 micron Imaging of Orion BN/KL
James M. De Buizer, Mark R. Morris, E. E. Becklin +5
The BN/KL region of the Orion Nebula is the nearest region of high mass star formation in our galaxy. As such, it has been the subject of intense investigation at a variety of wave…
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.…
