TL;DR: The Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) is one of three focal plane instruments on the Spitzer Space Telescope as mentioned in this paper, which is a four-channel camera that obtains simultaneous broadband images at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 m.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water, o2, and ice in molecular clouds
TL;DR: In this article, the authors model the temperature and chemical structure of molecular clouds as a function of depth into the cloud, assuming a cloud of constant density n illuminated by an external far-ultraviolet (FUV) flux G 0 (scaling factor in multiples of the local interstellar field).
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of the water reservoir in a forming planetary system

TL;DR: The Heterodyne Instrument for the Far-Infrared on board the Herschel Space Observatory has detected emission lines from both spin isomers of cold water vapor from the disk around the young star TW Hydrae, hinting at a water ice reservoir equivalent to several thousand Earth oceans in mass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal Balance in Dense Molecular Clouds: Radiative Cooling Rates and Emission-Line Luminosities
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the radiative cooling of fully shielded molecular astrophysical gas over a wide range of temperatures (10 K < T < 2500 K) and densities (10(exp 3)/cc < n(H2) < 10(exp 10)/cc).
