- 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…
A “Starless” Core that Isn't: Detection of a Source in the L1014 Dense Core with the Spitzer Space Telescope
- C. Young, J. Jørgensen, Z. Wahhaj
- Physics, Geology
- 16 June 2004
We present observations of L1014, a dense core in the Cygnus region previously thought to be starless, but data from the Spitzer Space Telescope show the presence of an embedded source. We propose a…
The Spitzer c2d Survey of Nearby Dense Cores. II. Discovery of a Low-Luminosity Object in the “Evolved Starless Core” L1521F
We present Spitzer Space Telescope observations of the "evolved starless core" L1521F that reveal the presence of a very low luminosity object (L < 0.07 L☉). The object, L1521F-IRS, is directly…
The Spitzer c2d Survey of Nearby Dense Cores. I. First Direct Detection of the Embedded Source in IRAM 04191+1522
- M. Dunham, N. Evans II, Z. Wahhaj
- Physics
- 31 July 2006
We report the first detections of the Class 0 protostellar source IRAM 04191+1522 at wavelengths shortward of 60 μm with the Spitzer Space Telescope. We see extended emission in the Spitzer images…
FUNDAMENTAL LIMITATIONS OF HIGH CONTRAST IMAGING SET BY SMALL SAMPLE STATISTICS
In this paper, we review the impact of small sample statistics on detection thresholds and corresponding confidence levels (CLs) in high-contrast imaging at small angles. When looking close to the…
THE GEMINI/NICI PLANET-FINDING CAMPAIGN: THE FREQUENCY OF PLANETS AROUND YOUNG MOVING GROUP STARS
- B. Biller, Michael C. Liu, D. Toomey
- Physics, Geology
- 5 September 2013
We report results of a direct imaging survey for giant planets around 80 members of the β Pic, TW Hya, Tucana-Horologium, AB Dor, and Hercules-Lyra moving groups, observed as part of the Gemini/NICI…
The Spitzer c2d Survey of Weak-Line T Tauri Stars. II. New Constraints on the Timescale for Planet Building
- L. Cieza, D. Padgett, Z. Wahhaj
- Physics, Geology
- 4 June 2007
One of the central goals of the Spitzer Legacy Project ``From Cores to Disks'' (c2d) is to determine the frequency of circumstellar disks around weak-line T Tauri stars (WTTSs) and to study the…
The Spitzer c2d Survey of Nearby Dense Cores. IV. Revealing the Embedded Cluster in B59
Infrared images of the dark cloud core B59 were obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope as part of the "Cores to Disks" Legacy Science project. Photometry from 3.6-70 μm indicates at least 20…
Orbital and atmospheric characterization of the planet within the gap of the PDS 70 transition disk
- A. Muller, M. Keppler, A. Zurlo
- Physics, GeologyAstronomy & Astrophysics
- 29 June 2018
Context. The observation of planets in their formation stage is a crucial but very challenging step in understanding when, how, and where planets form. PDS 70 is a young pre-main sequence star…
THE GEMINI NICI PLANET-FINDING CAMPAIGN: DISCOVERY OF A CLOSE SUBSTELLAR COMPANION TO THE YOUNG DEBRIS DISK STAR PZ Tel
- B. Biller, Michael C. Liu, D. Toomey
- Physics, Geology
- 27 July 2010
We report the discovery of a tight substellar companion to the young solar analog PZ Tel, a member of the β Pic moving group observed with high-contrast adaptive optics imaging as part of the Gemini…
