Warp signatures of the Galactic disk as seen in mid infrared from Midcourse Space Experiment
The gross features in the distribution of stars as well as warm (T > ∼ 100 K) interstellar dust in the Galactic disk have been investigated using the recent mid infrared survey by Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) at 8, 12, 14 & 21 µm bands. An attempt has been made to determine the location of the Galactic mid-plane at various longitudes, using two approaches : (i) fitting exponential functions...
متن کاملSpatial distribution of emission in Unidentified Infrared Bands from Midcourse Space Experiment Survey
Recently the Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) has surveyed the Galactic plane in mainly four infrared bands between 6 and 25 μm. Two of these bands cover several Unidentified Infrared emission Bands (UIBs). With the aim of extracting the spatial distribution of the UIB emission on a large scale, a scheme has been developed to model the MSX data with emission in the UIBs alongwith the underlying...
متن کاملThe Interstellar Gas Seen in the Mid- and Far-infrared: the Promise of Spica Space Telescope
The midand far-IR spectral ranges are critical windows to characterize the physical and chemical processes that transform the interstellar gas and dust into stars and planets. Sources in the earliest phases of star formation and in the latest stages of stellar evolution release most of their energy at these wavelengths. Besides, the midand far-IR ranges provide key spectral diagnostics of the g...
متن کاملMid-Infrared Spectroscopic Diagnostics of Galactic Nuclei
In this paper I summarize the science motivations, as well as a few mid-infrared spectroscopic methods used to identify the principal mechanisms of energy production in dust enshrouded galactic nuclei. The development of the various techniques is briefly discussed. Emphasis is given to the use of the data which are becoming available with the infrared spectrograph (IRS) on Spitzer, as well as t...
متن کاملInfrared Signatures of Protoplanetary Disk Evolution
We investigate the observational signatures of a straightforward evolutionary scenario for protoplanetary disks in which the disk mass of small (∼< 50μm) particles decreases homologously with time, but the disk structure and stellar parameters do not change. Our goal is to identify optimal infrared spectral indicators of the existence of disks, their structure, and mass evolution that may be te...
