Spitzer/mips infrared imaging of m31: further evidence for a spiral/ring composite structure
Karl D. Gordon,Jeremy Bailin,Charles W. Engelbracht,George H. Rieke,Karl Misselt,William B. Latter,Eric T. Young,Matthew L. N. Ashby,Pauline Barmby,Brad K. Gibson,Brad K. Gibson,Dean C. Hines,Joannah L. Hinz,Oliver Krause,D. Levine,Francine R. Marleau,Alberto Noriega-Crespo,Susan R. Stolovy,David A. Thilker,Michael W. Werner +19 more
TL;DR: In this article, the two spiral arms appear to start at the ends of a bar in the nuclear region and extend beyond the star-forming ring, and the star forming ring is very circular except for a region near M32 where it splits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Galactic Abundance Gradients from Infrared Fine-Structure Lines in Compact H II Regions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present new observations of the [S III] 19 μm, [O III] 52 and 88 μm and [N III] 57 μm lines toward 18 compact and ultracompact H II regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
9.7 μm Silicate Features in Active Galactic Nuclei: New Insights into Unification Models
Yong Shi,George H. Rieke,Dean C. Hines,Varoujan Gorjian,Michael W. Werner,K. A. Cleary,F. J. Low,Paul S. Smith,Jeroen Bouwman +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe observations of 9.7 μm silicate features in 97 AGNs, exhibiting a wide range of AGN types and of X-ray extinction toward the central nuclei.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mid-Infrared Imaging of a Circumstellar Disk around HR 4796: Mapping the Debris of Planetary Formation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the discovery of a circumstellar disk around the young AO star, HR 4796, in thermal infrared imaging carried out at the W.M. Keck Observatory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asteroid belts in debris disk twins: vega and fomalhaut
Kate Y. L. Su,George H. Rieke,Renu Malhotra,Karl R. Stapelfeldt,A. Meredith Hughes,Amy Bonsor,David J. Wilner,Zoltan Balog,Dan M. Watson,Michael W. Werner,Karl Misselt +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present Spitzer 10-35 micrometers spectroscopic data centered at both stars and identify warm, unresolved excess emission in the close vicinity of Vega for the first time.
