Infrared Observations of the Quintuplet Proper Members using SOFIA/FORCAST and Gemini/TReCS

Matthew J. Hankins, Ryan M. Lau, Mark R. Morris +4

Since their discovery, the Quintuplet proper members (QPMs) have been somewhat mysterious in nature. Originally dubbed the "cocoon stars" due to their cool featureless spectra, hig…
