Sparse-Aperture Adaptive Optics
Peter G. Tuthill,James P. Lloyd,Michael J. Ireland,Frantz Martinache,John D. Monnier,Henry C. Woodruff,T. ten Brummelaar,Nils H. Turner,Charles H. Townes +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a fusion of aperture masking interferometry and adaptive optics (AO) is presented, where an aperture mask is placed downstream of an AO system to recover structure from the traditionally difficult regime of the AO-corrected transfer function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of Ammonia Density, Velocity, and Rotational Excitation in the Region of Sagittarius B2
TL;DR: Ammonia inversion radiation in Sgr B2 region, observing distribution of density, velocity and rotational excitation was observed in this article, where the distribution of the density, velocities, and excitations was analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Orion Molecular Clouds OMC-1 and OMC-2 Mapped in the Far-Infrared Fine-Structure Line Emission of C+ and O0
F. Herrmann,S. C. Madden,T. Nikola,Albrecht Poglitsch,Ralf Timmermann,N. Geis,Charles H. Townes,Gordon J. Stacey +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Orion Molecular Ridge (OMC-1 and OMC-2) was mapped in the fine-structure lines [C II] 158 μm and [O I] 63 and 146 μm.
Journal ArticleDOI
How the Laser Happened: Adventures of a Scientist
Charles H. Townes,Steven Chu +1 more
TL;DR: The Light That Shines Straight as discussed by the authors is a classic example of a light-that-shines-straight story about a light that shines straight in the sky, and it can be seen as a metaphor for the Rains of Orion.
Journal ArticleDOI
First Surface-resolved Results with the IOTA Imaging Interferometer: Detection of Asymmetries in AGB stars
S. Ragland,Wesley A. Traub,J. P. Berger,W. C. Danchi,John D. Monnier,Lee Anne Willson,Nathaniel P. Carleton,M. G. Lacasse,Rafael Millan-Gabet,Ettore Pedretti,F. P. Schloerb,W. D. Cotton,Charles H.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured non-zero closure phases for about 29% of the AGB stars using the 3-telescope Infrared Optical Telescope Array (IOTA) interferometer at near-infrared wavelengths (H band) and with angular resolutions in the range 5-10 milliarcseconds.
