Design and development of NIRSPEC: a near-infrared echelle spectrograph for the Keck II telescope
- I. McLean, E. Becklin, W. Wong
- PhysicsAstronomical Telescopes and Instrumentation
- 21 August 1998
The design and development of NIRSPEC, a near-IR echelle spectrograph for the Keck II 10-meter telescope is described. This instrument is a large, facility-class vacuum-cryogenic spectrometer with a…

The Gemini Deep Planet Survey
- D. Lafrenière, R. Doyon, R. Racine
- Physics, Geology
- 29 May 2007
We present the results of the Gemini Deep Planet Survey, a near-infrared adaptive optics search for giant planets and brown dwarfs around 85 nearby young stars. The observations were obtained with…
Massive Stars in the Arches Cluster
- D. Figer, F. Najarro, Caltech Ucb Gsfc
- Physics
- 7 August 2002
We present and use new spectra and narrowband images, along with previously published broadband images, of stars in the Arches cluster to extract photometry, astrometry, equivalent width, and…
The Hubble Space Telescope Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale. XIII. The Metallicity Dependence of the Cepheid Distance Scale
- R. Kennicutt, P. Stetson, P. Wood
- Physics
- 3 December 1997
Uncertainty in the metal-abundance dependence of the Cepheid variable period-luminosity (PL) relation remains one of the outstanding sources of systematic error in the extragalactic distance scale…
Observations of a z = 1.44 Dusty, Ultraluminous Galaxy and Implications for Deep Submillimeter Surveys* ** ***
We present new near-infrared and optical spectroscopic observations that confirm the redshift of the z = 1.44 extremely red object ERO J164502+4626.4 (object 10 of Hu & Ridgway, formerly known as HR…
FOMALHAUT'S DEBRIS DISK AND PLANET: CONSTRAINING THE MASS OF FOMALHAUT B FROM DISK MORPHOLOGY
- E. Chiang, E. Kite, P. Kalas, J. Graham, M. Clampin
- Geology, Physics
- 13 November 2008
Following the optical imaging of exoplanet candidate Fomalhaut b (Fom b), we present a numerical model of how Fomalhaut's debris disk is gravitationally shaped by a single interior planet. The model…
The Redshift of an Extremely Red Object and the Nature of the Very Red Galaxy Population
Infrared surveys have discovered a significant population of bright (K 19) extremely red (R—K 6) objects. Little is known about the properties of these objects on account of their optical faintness…
