    8.3 and 12.4 micron imaging of the Galactic Center source complex with the Goddard infrared array camera (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: A 30 x 30 arcsec field at the Galactic Center (1.5 x 1.5 parsec) was mapped at 8.3 microns and 12.41 microns with high spatial resolution and accurate relative astrometry, using the 16 x 16 Si:Bi accumulation mode charge injection device Goddard infrared array camera. The design and performance of the array camera detector electronics system and image data processing techniques are discussed. Color temperature and dust opacity distributions derived from the spatially accurate images indicate that the compact infrared sources and the large scale ridge structure are bounded by warmer, more diffuse material. None of the objects appear to be heated appreciably by internal luminosity sources. These results are consistent with the model proposing that the complex is heated externally by a strong luminosity source at the Galactic Center, which dominates the energetics of the inner few parsecs of the galaxy.

    Far-infrared and submillimeter survey of the galactic plane from l = 11.5 deg to l = 17.5 deg (1984)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: Medium resolution (11 min) maps of the galactic plane are presented from l = 11.5 deg to l = 17.5 deg at wavelengths of 93 microns, 154 microns, and 190 microns. The maps are interpreted in terms of the temperature and spatial structure of diffuse far-infrared/submillimeter sources associated with evolved H II regions and a continuous ridge of galactic emission. The emission regions are found to be more extended at the longer wavelengths which implies that there must be a range of dust temperatures in the sources. The properties of the galactic ridge are similar to those of the sources.

    Structure in the nucleus of NGC 1068 at 10 microns (1987)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-08-31
    Description: New 8 to 13 micron array camera images of the central kiloparsec of Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068 resolve structure that is similar to that observed at visible and radio wavelengths. The images reveal an infrared source which is extended and asymmetric, with its long axis oriented at P.A. 33 deg. Maps of the spatial distribution of 8 to 13 micron color temperature and warm dust opacity are derived from the multiwavelength infrared images. The results suggest that there exist two pointlike luminosity sources in the central regions of NGC 1068, with the brighter source at the nucleus and the fainter one some 100 pc to the northeast. This geometry strengthens the possibility that the 10 micron emission observed from grains in the nucleus is powered by a nonthermal source. In the context of earlier visible and radio studies, these results considerably strengthen the case for jet induced star formation in NGC 1068.

    High spatial resolution observations of NGC 7027 with a 10 micron array camera (1984)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: First observations of a planetary nebula with an infrared charge injection device (CID) array camera are reported. The 10 micron images of NGC 7027 have spatial resolution comparable to that of the highest resolution (less than 2 arcsec) radio aperture-synthesis maps of this source. A much closer correspondence between the mid-infrared and radio appearance of NGC 7027 was found than was known previously, confirming that warm dust is coextensive and well mixed with the gas in the ionized zone. Using maps at three wavelengths, the spatial dependence of the shape of the 8-13 micron spectrum within the nebula is examined. The dip at 9.60 microns is shallowest in regions of enhanced optical extinction (as determined from new images near 4000 and 9000 A obtained with an optical charge coupled device). The 9.60 micron emission is strongest in these same positions. It is shown that the results may be explained not by silicate absorption, but by a combination of emission from two distinct grain populations, one of which is also partly responsible for the variation in extinction across the nebula.

    Images of the 10-micron source in the Cygnus 'Egg' (1989)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Mid-IR images of AFGL 2688, the Egg nebula, obtained with a 16 x 16 pixel array camera (field of view 12.5 x 12.5 arcsec) resolve the central source. It appears as a centrally peaked ellipsoid with major axis of symmetry parallel to the axis of the visible nebulosity. This is contrary to the expected extension perpendicular to this axis implied by proposed dust-toroid models of the IR source. Maps of the spatial distribution of 8-13 micron color temperature and warm dust opacity derived from the multiwavelength images further characterize the IR emission. The remarkable flatness of the color temperature conflicts with the radial temperature gradient expected across a thick shell of material with a single heat source at its center. The new data suggest instead that the source consists of a central star surrounded by a dust shell that is too thin to provide a detectable temperature gradient and too small to permit the resolution of limb brightening.

    The 8.3 and 12.4 micron imaging of the Galactic Center source complex with the Goddard infrared array camera (1985)

    Test results of Spacelab 2 infrared telescope focal plane (1981)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The small helium cooled infrared telescope for Spacelab 2 is designed for sensitive mapping of extended, low-surface-brightness celestial sources as well as highly sensitive investigations of the shuttle contamination environment (FPA) for this mission is described as well as the design for a thermally isolated, self-heated J-FET transimpedance amplifier. This amplifier is Johnson noise limited for feedback resistances from less than 10 to the 8th power Omega to greater than 2 x 10 to the 10th power Omega at T = 4.2K. Work on the focal plane array is complete. Performance testing for qualification of the flight hardware is discussed, and results are presented. All infrared data channels are measured to be background limited by the expected level of zodiacal emission.

    An extended far-infrared emission complex at IC 1318b and IC 1318c (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: A map of extended 90 micron emission with 15 arcmin resolution is presented for sources centered on IC 1318b and c. A strong correlation is found between far-infrared emission and radio continuum emission, although a comparison of far-infrared and CO molecular line maps shows no similarity. Extended far-infrared sources have inferred gas densities, which implies that far-infrared emitting dust is mixed with the ionized gas. Far-infrared emission from dust is also observed in the nonthermal radio source DR 4 which is part of a supernova remnant, and the data are compatible with a core-halo model for the compact source DR 7.

    Far-infrared and submillimeter survey of the galactic center and nearby galactic plane (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Maps are presented with 12-arcmin resolution of the Galactic Center and adjacent galactic plane, from l(Pc) = 359 deg to l(Pc) = 5 deg. The data were obtained with the Steward Observatory's cryogenically-cooled, balloon-borne telescope. The data are from channels filtered for a bandpass of 70 to 110 microns and for a longpass of wavelength greater than 80 microns. For the typical effective temperature of 25 K of a galactic H II region at this spatial resolution, the effective wavelengths of the channels are 93 microns and 145 microns. Continuous emission is mapped along the galactic plane in both wavelengths. There are two contrasts between the immediate vicinity of SgrA l(Pc) smaller than 1 deg, and the galactic plane in general. Firstly, for l(Pi) greater than 1 deg the galactic plane narrows dramatically at 93 microns, while retaining its width at 145 microns. Secondly, the individual sources at l(Pc) (which are associated with H II regions) have greater peak brightness in the 145-micron channel than the 93-micron channel, while SgrA has approximately equal peak brightness in each. The maps demonstrate the importance of submillimeter wavelengths to galactic surveys.
