Measuring Interstellar Carbon Abundance via 158 μm [C ii] Absorption with SOFIA—A Potential Detection and Proof-of-concept for Depletion Studies with Future Far-IR Facilities

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Carbon plays key roles in the interstellar medium (ISM)—as a constituent of dust, as the carrier of the dominant far-infrared (FIR) cooling line, and as a component of various important molecules.

How many active galaxies and QSOs will future Space Missions detect? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Averaged spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of active and starburst galaxies from the 12 micron sample in the Local Universe and Quasars, from an optically selected sample at a mean redshift =0.7, are built from optical/near-IR/far-IR (IRAS & ISO ...

Stressed detector arrays for airborne astronomy [PDF]

open access: yes
The development of stressed Ge:Ga detector arrays for far-infrared astronomy from the Kuiper Airborne Observatory (KAO) is discussed. Researchers successfully constructed and used a three channel detector array on five flights from the KAO, and have ...

The Laboratory Astrophysics Spectroscopy Programme at Imperial College London

open access: yesGalaxies, 2018
Accurate atomic parameters, such as transition probabilities, wavelengths, and energy levels, are indispensable for the analysis of stellar spectra and the obtainment of chemical abundances.

Mid- Through Far-Infrared Astronomy: The Path to Tomorrow

open access: yes, 2019
The mid- through far-infrared wavelength regime accounts for the second largest component of the spectral energy distribution of the Universe -- below the primordial cosmic background and similar in magnitude to the optical background. The far-infrared peak is due to prolific star formation within galaxies during the early lifetime of the Universe ...

Astronomical observations with the University College London balloon borne telescope [PDF]

open access: yes
The characteristics of a telescope system which was developed for high altitude balloon astronomy are discussed. A drawing of the optical system of the telescope is provided. A sample of the signals recorded during one of the flights is included.

A Confirmed Deficit of Hot and Cold Dust Emission in the Most Luminous Little Red Dots

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Luminous broad H α emission and red rest-optical spectral energy distributions (SEDs) are the hallmark of compact little red dots (LRDs), implying highly attenuated dusty starbursts and/or obscured active galactic nuclei (AGN).

A Multi-Band Far-Infrared Survey with a Balloon-Borne Telescope [PDF]

open access: yes
Nine additional radiation sources, above a 3-sigma confidence level of 1300 Jy, were identified at 100 microns by far infrared photometry of the galactic plane using a 0.4 meter aperture, liquid helium cooled, multichannel far infrared balloon-borne ...

Far-infrared surveys of galaxy evolution

open access: yes, 2014
Roughly half of the radiation from evolving galaxies in the early universe reaches us in the far-infrared and submillimeter wavelength range. Recent major advances in observing capabilities, in particular the launch of the Herschel Space Observatory in ...
