The Dying Wind around HD 56126, a Post-Asymptotic Giant Branch Carbon Star
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Keck I telescope to resolve at mid-infrared wavelengths the dust emission from HD 56126 (IRAS 07134+1005), a post-asymptotic giant branch carbon star with a detached dust shell.

TL;DR: In this paper, photometric observations of IRC + 10216 in five wavelength intervals from 50 to 1000 μ are reported, where the observed radiation is interpreted as thermal emission from dust in the extended molecular cloud heated by the compact 2-20 μ source as the core of the cloud.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of focal plane array nonuniformity on the performance, optimization of the detector design, material growth and processing that has culminated in realization of large format long-wavelength QWIP cameras, holding forth great promise for many applications in 6-18 μm wavelength range in science, medicine, defense and industry.

TL;DR: In this paper, a roughly circular 24 micron shadow with a 70 arcsec radius was observed and the extinction profile of this shadow matched the profile derived from 2MASS photometry at the outer edges of the globule and reaches a maximum of ~32 visual magnitudes at the center.
