The Wavelength Dependence of Interstellar Extinction from 1.25 to 8.0 μm Using GLIMPSE Data
- R. Indebetouw, J. Mathis, E. Churchwell
- Physics
- 17 June 2004
We determine and tabulate A[λ]/AK, the wavelength dependence of interstellar extinction, in the Galactic plane for 1.25 μm ≤ λ ≤ 8.0 μm along two lines of sight: l = 42° and 284°. The first is a…
Absolute Calibration of the Infrared Array Camera on the Spitzer Space Telescope
- W. Reach, S. Megeath, G. Fazio
- Physics
- 6 July 2005
The Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on the Spitzer Space Telescope is absolutely calibrated by comparing photometry of a set of A stars near the north ecliptic pole to predictions based on ground‐based…
Spectral Irradiance Calibration in the Infrared. XIV. The Absolute Calibration of 2MASS
- M. Cohen, W. Wheaton, S. Megeath
- Physics
- 18 April 2003
Element by element, we have combined the optical components in the three cameras of the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), and incorporated detector quantum efficiency curves and site-specific…
The Bubbling Galactic Disk
- E. Churchwell, M. Povich, M. Wolff
- Physics
- 1 October 2006
A visual examination of the images from the Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE) has revealed 322 partial and closed rings that we propose represent partially or fully…
A model of the 8-25 micron point source infrared sky
- R. Wainscoat, M. Cohen, K. Volk, H. Walker, D. Schwartz
- Physics
- 1 November 1992
We present a detailed model for the IR point-source sky that comprises geometrically and physically realistic representations of the Galactic disk, bulge, stellar halo, spiral arms (including the…

- J. Bernard, W. Reach, D. Zaritsky
- PhysicsProceedings of the International Astronomical…
- 1 June 2005
The goal of this paper is to present the results of a preliminary analysis of the extended infrared (IR) emission by dust in the interstellar medium (ISM) of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We…
Observational studies of pre-main-sequence evolution.
Optical scanner data from 4270 to 6710 A with a resolution of 7 A have been obtained for some 600 H..cap alpha.. emission stars listed in the compilation of T Tauri stars by Herbig and Rao and in the…
Spectral Irradiance Calibration in the Infrared. X. A Self-Consistent Radiometric All-Sky Network of Absolutely Calibrated Stellar Spectra
- M. Cohen, R. Walker, B. Carter, P. Hammersley, M. Kidger, K. Noguchi
- Physics, Environmental Science
- 1 April 1999
We start from our six absolutely calibrated continuous stellar spectra from 1.2 to 35 μm for K0, K1.5, K3, K5, and M0 giants. These were constructed as far as possible from actual observed spectral…
Two-dimensional Radiative Transfer in Protostellar Envelopes. II. An Evolutionary Sequence
