Kelly,Almudena Alonso-Herrero,Eiichi Egami,Kate Y. L. Su,Casey Papovich,Paul S. Smith,Dean C. Hines,Marcia J. Rieke,Myra Blaylock,Pablo G. Pérez-González,Emeric Le Floc'h,Joannah L. Hinz,William B. Latter,T. Hesselroth,David T. Frayer,Alberto Noriega-Crespo,Frank J. Masci,Deborah L. Padgett +27 more
TL;DR: The first six months of flight data from the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) were used to test MIPS reduction algorithms based on extensive preflight laboratory data and modeling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Viraj Karambelkar,Viraj Karambelkar,Scott M. Adams,Patricia A. Whitelock,Mansi M. Kasliwal,Jacob E. Jencson,Martha L. Boyer,S. R. Goldman,Frank J. Masci,Ann Marie Cody,John Bally,Howard E. Bond,Robert D. Gehrz,Mudumba Parthasarathy,R. M. Lau +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a catalog of 417 luminous infrared variable stars with periods exceeding 250 days were identified in 20 nearby galaxies by the ongoing SPIRITS survey with the Spitzer Space Telescope.
Journal ArticleDOI
SPIRITS 16tn in NGC 3556: A Heavily Obscured and Low-luminosity Supernova at 8.8 Mpc
Jacob E. Jencson,Mansi M. Kasliwal,Scott M. Adams,Howard E. Bond,Howard E. Bond,Ryan M. Lau,Joel Johansson,Assaf Horesh,Kunal Mooley,Rob Fender,Kaushik De,Donal O'Sullivan,Frank J. Masci,Ann Marie Cody,N. Blagorodnova,O. D. Fox,Robert D. Gehrz,Peter Milne,Daniel A. Perley,Daniel A. Perley,Nathan Smith,Schuyler D. Van Dyk +21 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the discovery of a likely supernova (SN) in NGC 3556 (M108) at only 8.8 Mpc that was not detected by optical searches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host galaxy contribution to the colours of ‘red’ quasars
TL;DR: In this article, an algorithm that measures self-consistently the relative galaxy contribution in a sample of radio-quasars from their optical spectra alone is described, based on a spectral fitting method which uses the size of the characteristic 4000A feature of elliptical galaxy SEDs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supernova 2014C: ongoing interaction with extended circumstellar material with silicate dust
Samaporn Tinyanont,Ryan M. Lau,Mansi M. Kasliwal,Keiichi Maeda,Nathan Smith,Ori D. Fox,Robert D. Gehrz,Kaushik De,Jacob Jencson,John Bally,Frank J. Masci +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present infrared observations of SN 2014C 1-5 yr post-explosion, including uncommon 9.7 μm imaging with COMICS on the Subaru telescope.
