The Observatory for Multi-Epoch Gravitational Lens Astrophysics (OMEGA) (2008)

Moustakas, Leonidas A, Bolton, Adam J, Booth, Jeffrey T, Bullock, James S, Cheng, Edward, Coe, Dan, ...

(abridged) The Observatory for Multi-Epoch Gravitational Lens Astrophysics (OMEGA) is a mission concept for a 1.5-m near-UV through near-IR space observatory that will be dedicated to frequent...

Spitzer IRS mapping of the central kpc of Centaurus A (2007)

Quillen, Alice C., Bland-Hawthorn, Joss, Green, Joel, Smith, J. D., Prasad, D. Amelia, Alonso-Herrero, Almudena, ...

We report on the results of infrared spectroscopic mapping observations carried out in the nuclear region of Centaurus A (NGC5128). The 500 pc bipolar dust shell discovered by Quillen et al.(2006) is...

Spitzer Observations of Powerful Radio Sources (2007)

Cleary, Kieran, Lawrence, Charles R., Marshall, Jason A., Hao, Lei, Meier, David

We have measured the mid-infrared radiation from an orientation-unbiased sample of powerful 3C RR galaxies and quasars using the IRS and MIPS instruments aboard the Spitzer Space Telescope. We fit...

Spitzer observations of the dusty warped disk of Centaurus A (2006)

Quillen, Alice C., Brookes, Mairi H., Keene, Jocelyn, Stern, Daniel, Lawrence, Charles R., Werner, Michael W.

Spitzer mid-infrared images of the dusty warped disk in the galaxy Centaurus A show a parallelogram-shaped structure. We successfully model the observed mid-infrared morphology by integrating the...

Discovery of a 500 pc shell in the nucleus of Centaurus A (2006)

Quillen, Alice C., Bland-Hawthorn, Joss, Brookes, Mairi H., Werner, Michael W., Smith, J. D., Stern, Daniel, ...

Spitzer Space Telescope mid-infrared images of the radio galaxy Centaurus A reveal a shell-like, bipolar, structure 500 pc to the north and south of the nucleus. This shell is seen in 5.8, 8.0 and 24...

Amplifier arrays for CMB polarization (2005)

Gaier, Todd, Lawrence, Charles R., Seiffert, Michael D., Wells, Mary M., Kangaslahti, Pekka, Dawson, Douglas

Cryogenic low noise amplifier technology has been successfully used in the study of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). MMIC (Monolithic Millimeter wave Integrated Circuit) technology makes the...

A Map of the Cosmic Microwave Background from the BEAST Experiment (2003)

Meinhold, Peter R., Bersanelli, Marco, Childers, Jeffrey, Figueiredo, Newton, Gaier, Todd C., Halevi, Doron, ...

We present the first sky maps from the BEAST (Background Emission Anisotropy Scanning Telescope) experiment. BEAST consists of a 2.2 meter off axis Gregorian telescope fed by a cryogenic millimeter...

The Redshift of the Lensed Object in the Einstein Ring B0218+357 (2002)

Cohen, Judith G., Lawrence, Charles R., Blandford, Roger D.

We present a secure redshift of z=0.944\pm0.002 for the lensed object in the Einstein ring gravitational lens B0218+357 based on five broad emission lines, in good agreement with our preliminary...

What have we already learned from the CMB? (1998)

Lawrence, Charles R., Scott, Douglas, White, Martin

The COBE satellite, and the DMR experiment in particular, was extraordinarily successful. However, the DMR results were announced about 7 years ago, during which time a great deal more has been...

Direct Imaging of the CMB from Space (1996)

Janssen, Michael A., Scott, Douglas, White, Martin, Seiffert, Michael D., Lawrence, Charles R., Gorski, Krzysztof M., ...

Fundamental information about the Universe is encoded in anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation. To make full use of this information, an experiment must image the entire sky...
