Revealing Efficient Dust-Formation at Low Metallicity in Extragalactic Carbon-Rich Wolf-Rayet Binaries
Ryan M. Lau, Matthew J. Hankins, Mansi M. Kasliwal +6
We present Spitzer/IRAC observations of dust formation from six extragalactic carbon-rich Wolf-Rayet (WC) binary candidates in low-metallicity (Z Z) environm…
SOFIA/FORCAST Galactic Center Legacy Survey: Overview
Matthew J. Hankins, Ryan M. Lau, James T. Radomski +12
The Galactic Center contains some of the most extreme conditions for star formation in our Galaxy as well as many other phenomena that are unique to this region. Given our relative…
An Infrared Study of the Circumstellar Material Associated with the Carbon Star R Sculptoris
Matthew J. Hankins, Terry L. Herter, Matthias Maercker +2
The asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star R Sculptoris (R Scl) is one of the most extensively studied stars on the AGB. R Scl is a carbon star with a massive circumstellar shell ($M_{…
An Infrared Study of the Dust Properties and Geometry of the Arched Filaments HII Region with SOFIA/FORCAST
Matthew J. Hankins, Ryan M. Lau, Mark R. Morris +1
Massive stellar clusters provide radiation () and winds () that act to heat dust and shape their surrounding environment…
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…
SOFIA/FORCAST Imaging of the Circumnuclear Ring at the Galactic Center
R. M. Lau, T. L. Herter, M. R. Morris +2
We present 19.7, 31.5, and 37.1 μm images of the inner 6 pc of the Galactic Center of the Milky Way with a spatial resolution of 3.2 - 4.6'' taken by the Faint Object Infrared Came…
