Detection of Galactic Center source G2 at 3.8 m during periapse passage
Gunther Witzel, Andrea M. Ghez, Mark R. Morris +14
We report new observations of the Galactic Center source G2 from the W. M. Keck Observatory. G2 is a dusty red object associated with gas that shows tidal interactions as it nears…
Providing stringent star formation rate limits of z2 QSO host galaxies at high angular resolution
Andrey Vayner, Shelley A. Wright, Tuan Do +3
We present integral field spectrograph (IFS) with laser guide star adaptive optics (LGS-AO) observations of z=2 quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) designed to resolve extended nebular li…
The InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) for TMT: Overview of innovative science programs
Shelley A. Wright, James E. Larkin, Anna M. Moore +22
IRIS (InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph) is a first light near-infrared diffraction limited imager and integral field spectrograph being designed for the future Thirty Meter Telescope…
The Infrared Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) for TMT: Instrument Overview
Anna M. Moore, James E. Larkin, Shelley A. Wright +31
We present an overview of the design of IRIS, an infrared (0.84 - 2.4 micron) integral field spectrograph and imaging camera for the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT). With extremely lo…
Prospects for measuring supermassive black hole masses with future extremely large telescopes
Tuan Do, Shelley A. Wright, Aaron J. Barth +6
The next generation of giant-segmented mirror telescopes ( 20 m) will enable us to observe galactic nuclei at much higher angular resolution and sensitivity than ever before. Th…
Properties of the Remnant Clockwise Disk of Young Stars in the Galactic Center
Sylvana Yelda, Andrea M. Ghez, Jessica R. Lu +4
We present new kinematic measurements and modeling of a sample of 116 young stars in the central parsec of the Galaxy in order to investigate the properties of the young stellar di…
