An analysis of the shapes of interstellar extinction curves. V. The IR-through-UV curve morphology
- E. Fitzpatrick, D. Massa
- Physics
- 1 May 2007
We study the IR-through-UV wavelength dependence of 328 Galactic interstellar extinction curves affecting normal, near-main-sequence B and late O stars. We derive the curves using a new technique…
An analysis of the shapes of ultraviolet extinction curves. I - The 2175 A bump
- E. Fitzpatrick, D. Massa
- Physics
- 1 August 1986
IUE data are used to investigate the properties of the 2175 A interstellar extinction bump toward 45 reddened Milky Way stars. Using analytic fitting functions, parameters are derived which describe…
Spitzer SAGE Infrared Photometry of Massive Stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud
- A. Bonanos, D. Massa, B. Whitney
- Physics
- 8 May 2009
We present a catalog of 1750 massive stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), with accurate spectral types compiled from the literature, and a photometric catalog for a subset of 1268 of these…
The Discordance of Mass-Loss Estimates for Galactic O-Type Stars
- A. Fullerton, D. Massa, R. Prinja
- Physics
- 1 August 2005
We have determined accurate values of the product of the mass-loss rate and the ion fraction of P+4, Mq(P+4), for a sample of 40 Galactic O-type stars by fitting stellar wind profiles to observations…
Spitzer SAGE-SMC Infrared Photometry of Massive Stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud
- A. Bonanos, D. Lennon, B. Whitney
- Physics
- 6 April 2010
We present a catalog of 5324 massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), with accurate spectral types compiled from the literature, and a photometric catalog for a subset of 3654 of these…
Calibration of the COBE FIRAS instrument
The Far-Infrared Absolute Spectrophotometer (FIRAS) instrument on the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite was designed to accurately measure the spectrum of the cosmic microwave background…
Determining the Physical Properties of the B Stars. II. Calibration of Synthetic Photometry
- E. Fitzpatrick, D. Massa
- Physics, Geology
- 20 December 2004
We present a new calibration of optical (UBV, Stromgren uvbyβ, and Geneva) and near-IR (Johnson RIJHK and Two Micron All Sky Survey) photometry for B and early A stars derived from Kurucz ATLAS9…
Interstellar Extinction in the Infrared: The Molecular Cloud toward HD 62542
- D. Whittet, P. Martin, E. Fitzpatrick, D. Massa
- Physics
- 10 May 1993
Near-IR photometry for the B-type main-sequence star HD 62542 is presented and employed to investigate the interstellar extinction curve in the wavelength range 0.44-3.5 microns. The ratio of total…
On-Orbit Performance of the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer Satellite
- D. Sahnow, H. Moos, E. Wilkinson
- Physics
- 25 May 2000
The launch of the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) has been followed by an extensive period of calibration and characterization as part of the preparation for normal satellite…
The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph: on-orbit instrument performance
- S. Osterman, J. Green, D. Soderblom
- Physics
- 28 December 2010
The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) was installed in the Hubble Space Telescope in May, 2009 as part of Servicing Mission 4 to provide high sensitivity, medium and low resolution spectroscopy at…
