A Precise Determination of the Mid-infrared Interstellar Extinction Law Based on the APOGEE Spectroscopic Survey
Gao, Jian; Wang, Shu; Li, Aigen +3 more
A precise measure of the mid-infrared interstellar extinction law is crucial for investigating the properties of interstellar dust, especially larger-sized grains. Based on the stellar parameters derived from the SDSS-III/Apache Point Observatory Galaxy Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) spectroscopic survey, we select a large sample of G-type and K-ty…
A Comprehensive Census of Nearby Infrared Excess Stars
Song, Inseok; Cotten, Tara H.
The conclusion of the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission presents an opportune time to summarize the history of using excess emission in the infrared as a tracer of circumstellar material and exploit all available data for future missions such as the James Webb Space Telescope. We have compiled a catalog of infrared excess stars fr…
The Young Stellar Population of Lynds 1340. An Infrared View
Apai, D.; Balog, Z.; Kun, M. +4 more
We present results of an infrared study of the molecular cloud Lynds 1340, forming three groups of low- and intermediate-mass stars. Our goals are to identify and characterize the young stellar population of the cloud, study the relationships between the properties of the cloud and the emergent stellar groups, and integrate L1340 into the picture …
Near-Infrared Polarization Source Catalog of the Northeastern Regions of the Large Magellanic Cloud
Tamura, Motohide; Jeong, Woong-Seob; Pak, Soojong +2 more
We present a near-infrared band-merged photometric and polarimetric catalog for the 39‧ × 69‧ fields in the northeastern part of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), which were observed using SIRPOL, an imaging polarimeter of the InfraRed Survey Facility. This catalog lists 1858 sources brighter than 14 mag in the H band with a polarization signal-to…
