    Infrared forbidden lines in H II regions and planetary nebulae (1975)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: Emissivity coefficients are calculated as functions of electron density and temperature for the IR forbidden lines between 2 and 300 microns of the elements and ionization stages most abundant in H II regions and planetary nebulae. The effect of self-absorption is investigated, and a method is presented for estimating when self-absorption may be important. The IR line spectrum of the Orion Nebula is predicted using the emissivity coefficients, and ionic abundances are derived for the Ar III, S IV, and Ne II forbidden lines in a number of planetary nebulae. The sulfur abundance and sulfur/oxygen ratio are discussed for H II regions and planetary nebulae. The average sulfur/oxygen ratio is found to be about 0.05 for gaseous nebulae.

    Spectrum of the Kleinmann-Low nebula from 29 to 125 micrometers (1977)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: The infrared spectrum of the Kleinmann-Low nebula in M42 has been measured from 80 to 350 kaysers (approximately 29 to 125 microns) with a Michelson interferometer aboard the NASA Kuiper Airborne Observatory. The frequency spectrum peaks at about 185 kaysers. A simple model of the emission implies that the temperature is in the range 70-95 K and that the optical depth is at least 0.2 at the peak frequency. A possible absorption is seen at about 176 kaysers. Thermal emission by dust at a temperature of 71 K, with the absorption cross section proportional to frequency, provides a good fit to the data. Other thermal-emission models can also fit the spectrum. The data are compared with previous broad-band measurements. Upper limits are placed on expected line emission from the surrounding H II region at the position of the nebula.

    The far-infrared spectrum of the core of Sagittarius B2 (1977)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: A Michelson interferometer aboard NASA's Kuiper Airborne Observatory has been used to measure the spectrum of Sgr B2 from 40 to 200 kaysers with 5-kayser resolution in a 1.4-arcmin beam. The measured spectrum is smooth and featureless with a broad maximum at about 85 kaysers. The data can be fitted analytically with a model corresponding to thermal emission by a uniform sla of dust filling the beam, with an average temperature of approximately 32 K, an optical depth at 100 microns of about 1.6, and a spectral index of the dust emissivity about 1.5. The absence of features implies either that the source is optically thick or that the emission spectrum of the individual grains is smooth in the passband. The possible physical significance of this model is discussed.

    Effect of the Shuttle contaminant environment on a sensitive infrared telescope (1977)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: A sensitive IR telescope on the Space Shuttle Orbiter will be limited in its performance by fluctuations in the IR radiation from the natural environment and the contaminant atmosphere. Models of the Orbiter's contaminant atmosphere were used to predict its spectral radiance from 3 to 300 microns. At 350 km, statistical fluctuations in the radiation from a water vapor column, and a noise equivalent power were measured. This noise is somewhat smaller than the expected contribution from zodiacal light from 5 to 30 microns. The column density of all IR emitting molecules can be kept low only if restrictions on rocket firings and liquid vents are maintained. The relatively low frequency of particle sightings from Skylab, coupled with improvements in Orbiter venting techniques, indicate that sightings of particles 2 microns and larger in radius will not seriously hamper telescope performance provided that liquid vents and rocket firings are properly restricted.

    Far infrared spectrophotometry of Jupiter and Saturn (1978)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: Infrared spectral measurements of Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were obtained from 100 to 470 kaysers and, by taking Mars as a calibration source, brightness temperatures of Jupiter and Saturn were determined with approximately 5 kayser resolution. Internal luminosities were determined from the data and are reported to be approximately 8 times 10 to the minus tenth power of the sun's luminosity for Jupiter and approximately 3.6 times 10 to the minus tenth power of the sun's luminosity for Saturn. Comparison of data with spectra predicted by models suggests the need for an opacity source in addition to gaseous hydrogen and ammonia to help explain Jupiter's observed spectrum in the vicinity of 250 kaysers.

    The mean Jovian temperature structure derived from spectral observations from 105 to 630 cm kaysers (1979)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: Far infrared observations of the thermal emission of Jupiter are used to determine the temperature at 1 bar. High-altitude observations of the whole-disk brightness temperature of Jupiter in the range of 100 to 347 kaysers were inverted to obtain a P-T profile between 1.5 and 0.06 atm, assuming as opacity sources the H2 collisionally induced continuum and the rotation inversion bands of ammonia. The P-T profile derived from the spectrum reproduces the main features of the observed spectrum, with a slightly improved fit if the effects of ammonia haze opacity or NH3 supersaturation in the saturated region are taken into account. The Jovian temperature is found to be 160 + or - 7 K at 1 bar, and 105 + or - 3 K at the inversion level at 0.15 bar. The 1-bar temperature is shown to be consistent with Jovian interior models which match the observed gravitational moment.

    Space Shuttle's orbital environment (1977)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: Variations with the solar cycle of chemical composition, density and temperature of the orbital environment of the Space Shuttle are reviewed; micrometeoroid fluxes, ionizing radiation, photon fluxes and cosmic ray bombardment to which the Shuttle will be subjected are also mentioned. In addition, gases arising from offgassing and outgassing of contaminants (at about 300 K) from the Shuttle are considered, and particulates ejected during rocket firings or from the leakage of pressurized vessels (i.e., the cabin) are taken into account.

    Infrared emission from the atmosphere above 200 km (1976)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: The infrared radiation over the range from 4 to 1000 microns from atoms and molecules in the earth's atmosphere, between 200 and 400 km, was calculated. Only zenith lines of sight were considered. The excitation of the atoms and molecules is due to collisions with other molecules and to absorption of radiation from the earth and sun. In some cases, the abundances of the molecules had to be estimated. The most important lines are the forbidden lines from atomic oxygen at 63.1 and 147 micron, and the vibration-rotation band of nitric oxide at 5.3 micron. These lines can have intensities as high as a few times 0.001 ergs/sq cm/sec/steradian at 200 km altitude. In addition, the vibration-rotation bands of NO(+) at 4.3 micron and CO at 4.7 micron and the pure rotation lines of NO and NO(+) could be detected by infrared telescopes in space.

    What's Going on Around BN (2005)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-18
    Description: The Becklin-Neugebauer object, discovered in observations made by Eric Becklin as a graduate student, is the brightest mid-infrared source outside the solar system, and a beacon in the nearest region of massive star formation. Using NICMOS on HST, we have obtained near infrared photometric, spectroscopic, and polarimetric images of the region immediately around BN. These images, with resolutions 〈 -0.2", reveal remarkable morphologies, shock details, new young stellar objects, faint stars with variable intensities, and outflow features. We will summarize these results and inferences regarding the shock properties, illuminating sources of the nebulosity, and IRc sources near BN.
