Forecasting the Cross Correlation of Terahertz Intensity Mapper [C ii] Line Intensity Maps with Euclid Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal
We forecast that the Terahertz Intensity Mapper (TIM) cross-correlated with Euclid’s Deep Field Fornax (EDF-F), TIM × EDF-F, will detect the [C ii ]-galaxy cross-power spectrum at a median redshift of 1.1 with ≳7 σ confidence.

An Analysis of the Complex and Compact Outflow Cavity Carved by HOPS 361-A in NGC 2071 IR

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a combined Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) and two-epoch Hubble Space Telescope (HST) study of the region NGC 2071 IR containing the outflow from the protostar HOPS 361-A (NGC 2071 IRS 1).

SOFIA Polarization Spectrum of Three Star-forming Clouds

The Astrophysical Journal
The dust emission polarization spectrum—how the polarization percentage changes with wavelength—serves as a probe of dust grain properties in star-forming regions.

Superconducting Nanowire Detection of Neutral Atoms and Molecules via Their Internal and Kinetic Energy in the eV Range

Advanced Physics Research
Superconducting nanowires are widely recognized as exceptional sensors in photonics, information processing, and astronomy. Even a single infrared photon can break Cooper pairs, generate a hot spot and trigger a measurable quantum phase transition. Here,

Maximizing Science Capability for Far-Infrared Space Missions

, 2004
The far-infrared and submillimeter region (20 microns-800 microns) has perhaps the greatest potential of all wavelengths for advancement in astronomy. When viewed in terms of the cosmic backgrounds, the far-IR is extremely important: half of the total ...

Measuring Star Formation Rates in the Milky Way from Hi-GAL 70 μm Observations

The Astrophysical Journal
Three methods for computing the total star formation rate (SFR) of the Milky Way agree well with a reference value of 1.65 ± 0.19 M _⊙ yr ^−1 . They are then used to determine the radial dependence of the SFR and face-on map for the Milky Way. First, the

Magnetic Fields in the Pillars of Creation

The Astrophysical Journal
Due to dust grain alignment with magnetic fields, dust polarization observations of far-infrared emission from cold molecular clouds are often used to trace magnetic fields, allowing a probe of the effects of magnetic fields on the star formation process.

Electromagnetic Techniques for Analysis and Design of Ultra Sensitive Receivers for Far-Infrared Astronomy [PDF]

, 2015
This thesis focuses on EM (electromagnetic) modelling methods for simulating the behaviour of receivers and detectors for far-IR (far-infrared) astronomy and CMB (cosmic microwave background) applications, toward an optimum design for SAFARI (the ...

Resolved Measurements of the CO-to-H2 Conversion Factor in 37 Nearby Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal
We measure the CO-to-H _2 conversion factor ( α _CO ) in 37 galaxies at 2 kpc resolution, using the dust surface density inferred from far-infrared emission as a tracer of the gas surface density and assuming a constant dust-to-metal ratio.
