Radio and infrared observations of OH/IR stars at the tangential point and near the galactic center

TL;DR: In this paper, an unambiguous infrared identification of a sample of OH/IR stars in the galactic disk and in the vicinity of the galactic center is presented, where simultaneous OH and broadband infrared photometric measurements are used to derive quantitative relations between the infrared and OH fluxes and the properties of the circumstellar shells, providing observational evidence that these stars represent an evolutionary sequence of increasing mass loss rate.

Observations of 1-millimeter continuum radiation from the DR 21 region

TL;DR: In this paper, a 3-min by 8-min area including the compact H II region DR 21, the maser source W75(S)-OH, and the central portions of the surrounding molecular cloud was mapped with 1-min resolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Astrophysics with New Horizons: Making the Most of a Generational Opportunity

TL;DR: The New Horizons mission as discussed by the authors provides an instrument package that provides imaging capability from ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (near-IR) wavelengths with moderate spectral resolution located beyond the orbit of Pluto.
