The Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) provides long-wavelength capability for the mission in imaging bands at 24, 70, and 160 μm and measurements of spectral energy distributions…
THE SPITZER c2d LEGACY RESULTS: STAR-FORMATION RATES AND EFFICIENCIES; EVOLUTION AND LIFETIMES
- N. Evans, M. Dunham, A. Sargent
- Physics
- 6 November 2008
The c2d Spitzer Legacy project obtained images and photometry with both IRAC and MIPS instruments for five large, nearby molecular clouds. Three of the clouds were also mapped in dust continuum…
THE PERFORMANCE AND CALIBRATION OF WFPC2 ON THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE
- J. Holtzman, J. Hester, J. Westphal
- Physics
- 1 February 1995
The WFPC2 was installed in the Hubble Space Telesocpe (HST) in December 1993. Since then, the instrument has been providing high quality images. A significant amount of calibration data has been…
Optical Images of an Exosolar Planet 25 Light-Years from Earth
Optical observations of an exoplanet candidate, Fomalhaut b, show that the planet's mass is at most three times that of Jupiter; a higher mass would lead to gravitational disruption of the belt, matching predictions of its location.
The c2d Spitzer Spectroscopic Survey of Ices around Low-Mass Young Stellar Objects. I. H2O and the 5-8 μm Bands
- A. Boogert, K. Pontoppidan, K. Stapelfeldt
- Physics
- 28 November 2007
To study the physical and chemical evolution of ices in solar-mass systems, a spectral survey is conducted of a sample of 41 low-luminosity YSOs (L ∼ 0.1–10 L☉) using 3-38 μm Spitzer and ground-based…
THE FIRST HUNDRED BROWN DWARFS DISCOVERED BY THE WIDE-FIELD INFRARED SURVEY EXPLORER (WISE)
- J. Davy Kirkpatrick, M. Cushing, W. Vacca
- Physics, Geology
- 23 August 2011
We present ground-based spectroscopic verification of 6 Y dwarfs (see also Cushing et al.), 89 T dwarfs, 8 L dwarfs, and 1 M dwarf identified by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). Eighty…
Hubble Space Telescope Observations of the Disk and Jet of HH 30
- C. Burrows, K. Stapelfeldt, J. Westphal
- Physics
- 10 December 1996
HH 30 in Taurus has been imaged with the Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2. The images show in reflected light a flared disk with a radius of about 250 AU that obscures the protostar. The disk resembles…
The Spitzer c2d Survey of Large, Nearby, Interstellar Clouds. III. Perseus Observed with IRAC
- J. Jørgensen, P. Harvey, K. Young
- Physics
- 21 March 2006
We present observations of 3.86 deg2 of the Perseus molecular cloud complex with the Spitzer Space Telescope Infrared Array Camera (IRAC). The maps show strong extended emission arising from shocked…
Debris Disk Evolution around A Stars
We report 24 and/or 70 μm measurements of ~160 A-type main-sequence stars using the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS). Their ages range from 5 to 850 Myr, based on estimates from the…
Decay of Planetary Debris Disks
We report new Spitzer 24 μm photometry of 76 main-sequence A-type stars. We combine these results with previously reported Spitzer 24 μm data and 24 and 25 μm photometry from the Infrared Space…
