LINC-NIRVANA Commissioning at the Large Binocular Telescope -- Lessons Learned

Kalyan Kumar Radhakrishnan Santhakumari, Carmelo Arcidiacono, Maria Bergomi +11

LINC-NIRVANA (LN) is one of the instruments on-board the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). LN is a high-resolution, near-infrared imager equipped with an advanced adaptive optics mo…

Magnetically Dominated Parallel Interstellar Filaments at the Infrared Dark Cloud G14.225-0.506

Fabio P. Santos, Gemma Busquet, Gabriel A. P. Franco +2

The G14.225-0.506 infrared dark cloud (IRDC G14.2) displays a remarkable complex of parallel dense molecular filaments projected on the plane of the sky. Previous dust emission and…

Instrumental performance and results from testing of the BLAST-TNG receiver, submillimeter optics, and MKID arrays

Nicholas Galitzki, Peter Ade, Francesco E. Angile +39

Polarized thermal emission from interstellar dust grains can be used to map magnetic fields in star forming molecular clouds and the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM). The Balloon-…

The Next Generation BLAST Experiment

Nicholas Galitzki, Peter A. R. Ade, Francesco E. Angilè +38

The Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry (BLASTPol) was a suborbital experiment designed to map magnetic fields in order to study their role in star…

On the radiation driven alignment of dust grains: Detection of the polarization hole in a starless core

Felipe Alves, Pau Frau, Josep M. Girart +3

We aim to investigate the polarization properties of a starless core in a very early evolutionary stage. Linear polarization data reveal the properties of the dust grains in the di…

A young stellar cluster within the RCW41 HII region: deep NIR photometry and Optical/NIR polarimetry

Fábio P. Santos, Alexandre Roman-Lopes, Gabriel A. P. Franco

The RCW41 star-forming region is embedded within the Vela Molecular Ridge, hosting a massive stellar cluster surrounded by a conspicuous HII region. Understanding the role of inter…
