Spitzer and HHT observations of starless cores: masses and environments
Amelia M. Stutz, George H. Rieke, John H. Bieging +6
We present Spitzer observations of a sample of 12 starless cores selected to have prominent 24 micron shadows. The Spitzer images show 8 and 24 micron shadows and in some cases 70…
Spitzer/IRAC Limits to Planetary Companions of Fomalhaut and epsilon Eridani
M. Marengo, K. Stapelfeldt, M. W. Werner +5
Fomalhaut and epsilon Eridani are two young, nearby stars that possess extended debris disks whose structures suggest the presence of perturbing planetary objects. With its high se…
The Collimation and Energetics of the Brightest Swift Gamma-Ray Bursts
S. B. Cenko, D. A. Frail, F. A. Harrison +22
Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are widely believed to be highly-collimated explosions (opening angle theta ~ 1-10 deg). As a result of this beaming factor, the true energy r…
Spitzer mapping of molecular hydrogen pure rotational lines in NGC 1333: A detailed study of feedback in star formation
Sebastien Maret, Edwin A. Bergin, David A. Neufeld +10
We present mid-infrared spectral maps of the NGC 1333 star forming region, obtained with the the Infrared Spectrometer on board the Spitzer Space Telescope. Eight pure H2 rotationa…
Training of Instrumentalists and Development of New Technologies on SOFIA
Edwin F. Erickson, Louis J. Allamandola, Jean-Paul Baluteau +47
This white paper is submitted to the Astronomy and Astrophysics 2010 Decadal Survey (Astro2010)1 Committee on the State of the Profession to emphasize the potential of the Stratosp…
A New Era in Extragalactic Background Light Measurements: The Cosmic History of Accretion, Nucleosynthesis and Reionization
Asantha Cooray, Alexandre Amblard, Charles Beichman +52
(Brief Summary) What is the total radiative content of the Universe since the epoch of recombination? The extragalactic background light (EBL) spectrum captures the redshifted ener…
The Origin of the Silicate Emission Features in the Seyfert 2 Galaxy, NGC 2110
R. E. Mason, N. A. Levenson, Y. Shi +5
The unified model of active galactic nuclei (AGN) predicts silicate emission features at 10 and 18 microns in type 1 AGN, and such features have now been observed in objects rangin…
Physical Conditions in the Ionized Gas of 30 Doradus
R. Indebetouw, G. E. de Messières, S. Madden +13
We present a mid-infrared spectroscopic data cube of the central part of 30 Doradus, observed with Spitzer's IRS and MIPS/SED mode. Aromatic dust emission features and emission lin…
