First detection of dust emission in a High-Velocity Cloud

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the first detection of dust emission in Complex C, the largest high velocity cloud in the sky, by comparing sensitive Spitzer Space Telescope (SST) infrared and Green Bank Telescope 21 cm observations, and suggested that the dust emission detected here comes from small molecular clumps, spatially correlated with the HI but with a low surface filling factor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extinction map of the small magellanic cloud based on the sirius and 6x 2mass point source catalogs

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the first extinction map of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) constructed using the color excess at near-infrared wavelengths using a new technique named "X percentile method", which was developed recently to measure the colour excess of dark clouds embedded within a star distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Zodiacal emission. II - Dust near ecliptic

TL;DR: In this paper, the location and brightness of the peak zodiacal emission were derived from IRAS observations of the diffuse infrared background radiation, from which the orientation of the surface of maximum dust density near the earth's orbit was derived.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dust Emission and Star Formation in Stephan's Quintet

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive set of MIR/FIR observations of Stephan's Quintet (SQ) was analyzed with the Spitzer Space Telescope, revealing the presence of a luminous (L_(IR) ≈ 4.6 × 10^(43) erg s^(-1)) and extended component of infrared dust emission, not connected with the main bodies of the galaxies, but roughly coincident with the X-ray halo of the group.
