- Description:
- In this work we present near-IR spectra (HK-band) of a sample of 107 sources with mid-IR excesses at 7 and 15{mu}m detected during the ISOGAL survey. Making use of the DENIS interstellar extinction map from Schultheis et al. (1999, Cat. <J/A+A/349/L69>) we derive luminosities and find that the Mbol vs. ^12^CO and Mbol vs. H_2_O diagrams are powerful tools for identifying supergiants, AGB stars, giants and young stellar objects. The majority of our sample are AGB stars (~80%) while we find four good supergiant candidates, nine young stellar objects and 12 RGB candidates. We have used the most recent K_0_-[15] relation by Jeong et al. (2002, in Mass-losing Pulsating tars and their Circumstellar Matter, ed. Y. Nakasa, M. Honma, & M. Sekiin) based on recent theoretical modeling of dust formation of AGB stars to determine mass-loss rates. The mass-loss rates of the supergiants are comparable with those in the solar neighbourhood while the long-period Variables cover a mass-loss range from -5<log(dM/dt)<-7. The red giant candidates lie at the lower end of the mass-loss rate range between -6.5<log(dM/dt)<-9. We used the equivalent width of the CO bandhead at 2.3 mum, the NaI doublet and the CaI triplet to estimate metallicities using the relation by Ramirez et al. (2000ApJ...537..205R). The metallicity distribution of the ISOGAL objects shows a mean [Fe/H]~-0.25dex with a dispersion of +/-0.40dex which is in agreement with the values of Ramirez et al. (2000ApJ...537..205R) for Galactic Bulge fields between b=-4{deg} and b=-1.3{deg}. A comparison with the solar neighbourhood sample of Lancon & Wood (2000, Cat. <J/A+AS/146/217>) shows that our sample is ~0.5dex more metal-rich on average.

- Description:
- We have analyzed the 8-13.5{mu}m UKIRT CGS3 spectra of 142 M-type stars including 80 oxygen-rich AGB stars and 62 red supergiants, with a view to understanding the differences and similarities between the dust features of these stars. We have classified the spectra into groups according to the observed appearance of the infrared features.

- Description:
- We present five new absolutely calibrated continuous stellar spectra from 1.2 to 35 um, constructed as far as possible from actual observed spectral fragments taken from the ground, the Kuiper Airborne Observatory (KAO), and the IRAS Low Resolution Spectrometer (LRS). These stars -- Beta Peg, Alpha Boo, Beta And, Beta Gem, and Alpha Hya -- augment our already created complete absolutely calibrated spectrum for Alpha Tau. All these spectra have a common calibration pedigree. The wavelength coverage is ideal for calibration of many existing and proposed ground-based, airborne, and satellite sensors.

- IR spectroscopy in Orion A: transitional disks
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/769/149
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Transitional disks are protoplanetary disks around young stars, with inner holes or gaps which are surrounded by optically thick outer, and often inner, disks. Here we present observations of 62 new transitional disks in the Orion A star-forming region. These were identified using the Spitzer Space Telescope's Infrared Spectrograph and followed up with determinations of stellar and accretion parameters using the Infrared Telescope Facility's SpeX. We combine these new observations with our previous results on transitional disks in Taurus, Chamaeleon I, Ophiuchus, and Perseus, and with archival X-ray observations. This produces a sample of 105 transitional disks of "cluster" age 3Myr or less, by far the largest hitherto assembled. We use this sample to search for trends between the radial structure in the disks and many other system properties, in order to place constraints on the possible origins of transitional disks. We see a clear progression of host-star accretion rate and the different disk morphologies. We confirm that transitional disks with complete central clearings have median accretion rates an order of magnitude smaller than radially continuous disks of the same population. Pre-transitional disks--those objects with gaps that separate inner and outer disks--have median accretion rates intermediate between the two. Our results from the search for statistically significant trends, especially related to dM/dt, strongly support that in both cases the gaps are far more likely to be due to the gravitational influence of Jovian planets or brown dwarfs orbiting within the gaps, than to any of the photoevaporative, turbulent, or grain-growth processes that can lead to disk dissipation. We also find that the fraction of Class II YSOs which are transitional disks is large, 0.1-0.2, especially in the youngest associations.

- Description:
- A sample of 379 extragalactic sources is presented that has mid-infrared, high-resolution spectroscopy from the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) and also spectroscopy of the [CII]158{mu}m line from the Herschel Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS). The emission line profiles of [NeII]12.81{mu}m, [NeIII]15.55{mu}m, and [CII]158{mu}m are presented, and intrinsic line widths are determined (full width half maximum of Gaussian profiles after instrumental correction). All line profiles, together with overlays comparing the positions of PACS and IRS observations, are made available in the Cornell Atlas of Spitzer IRS Sources (CASSIS). Sources are classified from active galactic nucleus (AGN) to starburst based on equivalent widths of the 6.2{mu}m polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon feature. It is found that intrinsic line widths do not change among classifications for [CII], with median widths of 207km/s for AGNs, 248km/s for composites, and 233km/s for starbursts. The [NeII] line widths also do not change with classification, but [NeIII] lines are progressively broader from starburst to AGN. A few objects with unusually broad lines or unusual redshift differences in any feature are identified.

- Description:
- Laboratory spectra through the mid-infrared (4000 to 500cm^-1^ [2.5-20 micron]) have been used to calculate the optical constants (n and k) and integrated absorption coefficients (A) for a variety of pure and mixed molecular ices of relevance to astrophysics. The ices studied were H2O, CH3OH, CO2, OCS, CH4, CO2+CH4, CO2+OCS, CO+CH4, CO+OCS, O2+CH4, O2+OCS, N2+CH4, N2+OCS, H2O+CH4, H2O+OCS, and H2O+CH3OH+CO+NH3. In addition, the measurements have been extended through the far-infrared (500 to 50cm^1^ [20-200 micron]) for the H2O, CH3OH, and H2O+CH3OH+NH3 ices.

- Description:
- The X-ray symbiotic (SyXB) V934 Her = 4U1700+24 is an M giant-neutron star (NS) binary system. Employing optical and infrared radial velocities spanning 29yr combined with the extensive velocities in the literature, we compute the spectroscopic orbit of the M giant in that system. We determine an orbital period of 4391d, or 12.0yr, the longest for any SyXB and far longer than the 404 day orbit commonly cited for this system in the literature. In addition to the 12.0yr orbital period, we find a shorter period of 420 days, similar to the one previously found. Instead of orbital motion, we attribute this much shorter period to long secondary pulsation of the M3 III SRb variable. Our new orbit supports earlier work that concluded that the orbit is seen nearly pole-on, which is why X-ray pulsations associated with the NS have not been detected. We estimate an orbital inclination of 11.3{deg}+/-0.4{deg}. Arguments are made that this low inclination supports a pulsation origin for the 420 day secondary period. We also measure the CNO and Fe peak abundances of the M giant and find it to be slightly metal-poor compared to the Sun, with no trace of the NS-forming supernova event. The basic properties of the M giant and NS are derived. We discuss the possible evolutionary paths that this system has taken to get to its current state.

- IR spectrum of protonated ovalene (7-C_32_H_15_^+^)

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The mid-infrared emission from galactic objects, including reflection nebulae, planetary nebulae, proto-planetary nebulae, molecular clouds, etc, as well as external galaxies, is dominated by the unidentified infrared (UIR) emission bands. Large protonated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (H^+^PAHs) were proposed as possible carriers, but no spectrum of an H^+^PAH has been shown to exactly match the UIR bands. Here, we report the IR spectrum of protonated ovalene (7-C_32_H_15_^+^) measured in a para-hydrogen (p-H_2_) matrix at 3.2K, generated by bombarding a mixture of ovalene and p-H_2_ with electrons during matrix deposition. Spectral assignments were made based on the expected chemistry and on the spectra simulated with the wavenumbers and infrared intensities predicted with the B3PW91/6-311++G(2d,2p) method. The close resemblance of the observed spectral pattern to that of the UIR bands suggests that protonated ovalene may contribute to the UIR emission, particularly from objects that emit Class A spectra, such as the IRIS reflection nebula, NGC 7023.

- Description:
- We provide new measurements of wavenumbers and line identifications of 10100 UI and UII near-infrared (NIR) emission lines between 2500cm^-1^ and 12000cm^-1^ (850-4000nm) using archival Fourier transform spectrometer spectra from the National Solar Observatory. This line list includes isolated uranium lines in the Y, J, H, K, and L bands (0.9-1.1um, 1.2-1.35um, 1.5-1.65um, 2.0-2.4um, and 3.0-4.0um, respectively), and provides six times as many calibration lines as thorium in the NIR spectral range. The line lists we provide enable inexpensive, commercially available uranium hollow cathode lamps to be used for high-precision wavelength calibration of existing and future high-resolution NIR spectrographs.
