ExoPTF Science Uniquely Enabled by Far-IR Interferometry: Probing the Formation of Planetary Systems, and Finding and Characterizing Exoplanets
David Leisawitz, Tom Armstrong, Chad Bender +28
By providing sensitive sub-arcsecond images and integral field spectroscopy in the 25 - 400 micron wavelength range, a far-IR interferometer will revolutionize our understanding of…
Dirt, Gravity, and Lunar-Based Telescopes: The Value Proposition for Astronomy
Dan Lester
The lunar surface has historically been considered an optimal site for a broad range of astronomical telescopes. That assumption, which has come to be somewhat reflexive, is critic…
CHARA Array K'-band Measurements of the Angular Dimensions of Be Star Disks
D. R. Gies, W. G. Bagnuolo, E. K. Baines +22
We present the first K'-band, long-baseline interferometric observations of the northern Be stars gamma Cas, phi Per, zeta Tau, and kappa Dra. The measurements were made with multi…
Does the Lunar Surface Still Offer Value As a Site for Astronomical Observatories?
Daniel F. Lester, Harold W. Yorke, John C. Mather
Current thinking about the Moon as a destination has revitalized interest in lunar astronomical observatories. Once seen by a large scientific community as a highly enabling site,…
Search For Oxygen in Cool DQ White Dwarf Atmospheres
M. Kilic, D. E. Winget, T. von Hippel +2
We report new infrared spectroscopic observations of cool DQ white dwarfs by using Coolspec on the 2.7m Harlan-Smith Telescope. DQs have helium-rich atmospheres with traces of mole…
Probing the Invisible Universe: The Case for Far-IR/Submillimeter Interferometry
D. Leisawitz, T. Armstrong, D. Benford +25
The question "How did we get here and what will the future bring?" captures the human imagination and the attention of the National Academy of Science's Astronomy and Astrophysics…
