Polarimetry research at the University of Florida
(2004)
The advent of large ( or larger) telescopes along with the new breed of mid-IR instrumentation opens a new window to diffraction-limited investigations of the nature of faint or crowded field astronomical objects at mid-IR ...
Mid-infrared polarimetry and magnetic fields : an observing strategy
(2004)
Linear polarimetry in the mid-infrared can be used to obtain magnetic field directions in astronomical sources. However, since the polarization can arise from emission and/or absorption from aligned grains, care is needed ...
CanariCam: a multimode mid-infrared camera for the Gran Telescopio CANARIAS
(Int Soc for Optical Engineering, 2003)
The University of Florida is developing a mid-infrared camera for the 10.4-meter Gran Telescopio CANARIAS. CanariCam has four science modes and two engineering modes, which use the same 320 x 240-pixel, arsenic-doped ...
Near-infrared high imaging polarimetry of the Red Rectangle
(2003)
We have carried out KHL band high resolution imaging and H band imaging-polarimetry of the Red Rectangle nebula using CIAO and 36 element AO mounted on the 8.2m Subaru telescope. HK band images show a X-shape structure ...
3.4 Micron Feature on the Shoulder of Ice-Band Absorptions in Three Luminous Young Stellar Objects: IRAS 18511 0146, IRAS 21413 5442, and IRAS 04579 4703
(2002-11)
An absorption feature at 3.4 lm has been detected in the long-wavelength wing of the 3.1 lm H2O ice feature in three young stellar objects: IRAS 18511+0146, IRAS 21413+5442, and IRAS 04579+4703. The profile of the 3.4 lm ...
