Journal ArticleDOI
Spitzer's stellar work.
TL;DR: In the News Feature “After Hubble” (24 April), D. Clery inappropriately characterizes the Spitzer Space Telescope as “now largely blind,” when it is in fact alive and well and continuing to make substantial contributions to the advancement of astrophysics and to scientific preparations for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
Book ChapterDOI
Submillimeter Cosmology with the Multiband Imaging Photometer for SIRTF
P. T. Timbie,G. M. Bernstein,Paul L. Richards,Thomas N. Gautier,George H. Rieke,Michael W. Werner +5 more
TL;DR: The Multiband Imaging Photometer for SIRTF (MIPS) as mentioned in this paper provides background-limited sensitivity from 3μm to 700μm with an angular resolution of 2' and a sensitivity of 4-9mJy.
Book ChapterDOI
Airborne Observations of Far-Infrared Emission Lines from the Photodissociation Regions in Planetary Nebulae: Properties and Masses of the Neutral Components
TL;DR: Erickson et al. as mentioned in this paper used a grating spectrometer to detect strong 63 μm emission from photodissociation regions in planetary nebulae and found that its strength correlates well with the total far-infrared power.
Journal ArticleDOI
Far-Infrared Polarimetry of the Interstellar Medium
John E. Vaillancourt,C. D. Dowell,Terry J. Jones,Giles Novak,David T. Chuss,Richard M. Crutcher,Jessie L. Dotson,D. A. Harper,Roger H. Hildebrand,Martin Houde,M. Krejny,A. Lazarian,Leslie W. Looney,I.M. Stephens,Konstantinos Tassis,Michael W. Werner +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, a multi-wavelength continuum polarimeter at far-infrared wavelengths was proposed to study thermal dust polarization in an effort to constrain the grains' physical properties and test grain alignment theory.
