Book ChapterDOI
Far-infrared and submillimeter photometry of evolved stars
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the early work in this still largely unexploited field and report results in each of the areas listed above, and preview the dramatic advances forthcoming in this area from the IRAS satellite and the further progress which will come from the next generation of infrared and submillimeter telescopes.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, high-dynamic-range images of circumstellar dust around HR 4796A were obtained with MIRLIN at the Keck II telescope at lambda = 7.9, 10.3, 12.5, 20.8, and 24.5 um with PSF FWHM's of 0.37" and 0.55", respectively, and confirmed the presence of an outer ring centered at 70 AU.

Spatially Resolved Observations of the Galactic Center Source, IRS 21
Angelle Tanner,Andrea M. Ghez,Mark Morris,Eric E. Becklin,Angela S. Cotera,Michael E. Ressler,Michael W. Werner,Peter Wizinowich +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, diffraction-limited 2-25 micron images were obtained with the W. M. Keck 10-m telescopes that spatially resolved the cool source, IRS 21, one of a small group of enigmatic objects in the central parsec of our Galaxy that have eluded classification.
