THE SPITZER SPACE TELESCOPE SURVEY OF THE ORION A AND B MOLECULAR CLOUDS. I. A CENSUS OF DUSTY YOUNG STELLAR OBJECTS AND A STUDY OF THEIR MID-INFRARED VARIABILITY [PDF]

, 2012
We present a survey of the Orion A and B molecular clouds undertaken with the IRAC and MIPS instruments on board Spitzer. In total, five distinct fields were mapped, covering 9 deg2 in five mid-IR bands spanning 3–24 μm.

Detection of the Buried Active Galactic Nucleus in NGC 6240 with the Infrared Spectrograph on the Spitzer Space Telescope [PDF]

SPIE Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation, 2004
We present mid-infrared spectra of the nearby ultraluminous infrared galaxy NGC 6240 taken with the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) on the Spitzer Space Telescope. The spectrum of NGC 6240 is dominated by strong fine-structure lines, rotational H2 lines, and

1I/‘Oumuamua as an N2 Ice Fragment of an Exo‐Pluto Surface II: Generation of N2 Ice Fragments and the Origin of ‘Oumuamua

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 126, Issue 5, May 2021., 2021
Abstract The origin of the interstellar object 1I/‘Oumuamua has defied explanation. In a companion paper (Jackson & Desch, 2021), we show that a body of N2 ice with axes 45 m × 44 m × 7.5 m at the time of observation would be consistent with its albedo, nongravitational acceleration, and lack of observed CO or CO2 or dust.

A Multiwavelength Classification and Study of Red Supergiant Candidates in NGC 6946

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We have combined resolved stellar photometry from Hubble Space Telescope (HST), Spitzer, and Gaia to identify red supergiant (RSG) candidates in NGC 6946, based on their colors, proper motions, visual morphologies, and spectral energy distributions.

Aerosols in Exoplanet Atmospheres

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 126, Issue 4, April 2021., 2021
Abstract Observations of exoplanet atmospheres have shown that aerosols, like in the solar system, are common across a variety of temperatures and planet types. The formation and distribution of these aerosols are inextricably intertwined with the composition and thermal structure of the atmosphere.

The Isaac Newton Telescope Monitoring project: Stellar population in the IC 10 dwarf irregular galaxy [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2019
We have conducted an optical monitoring survey of IC 10 dwarf irregular galaxy in the Local Group, using the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) with the wide-field camera (WFC), to identify the Asymptotic Giant Branch stars (AGBs).

CME Magnetic Structure and IMF Preconditioning Affecting SEP Transport

Space Weather, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2021., 2021
Abstract Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and solar energetic particles (SEPs) are two phenomena that can cause severe space weather effects throughout the heliosphere. The evolution of CMEs, especially in terms of their magnetic structure, and the configuration of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) that influences the transport of SEPs are currently

The SLUGGS survey: stellar masses and effective radii of early-type galaxies from Spitzer Space Telescope 3.6 μm imaging [PDF]

, 2016
Galaxy starlight at 3.6 μm is an excellent tracer of stellar mass. Here we use the latest 3.6 μm imaging from the Spitzer Space Telescope to measure the total stellar mass and effective radii in a homogeneous way for a sample of galaxies from the SAGES ...

GOALS-JWST: Unveiling Dusty Compact Sources in the Merging Galaxy IIZw096

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022
We have used the Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI) on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to obtain the first spatially resolved, mid-infrared images of IIZw096, a merging luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG) at z = 0.036.
