The IC 2118 team is working to characterize the young star population of a small cloud near Rigel that is (probably) part of the greater Orion star forming ecosystem. We have used about 12.5 hours of Spitzer time (!) to map a large region of the cloud with both IRAC and MIPS.  We have taken several posters to AAS meetings -- see the [[Posters and Handouts from AAS meetings | posters and handouts page]].  We have obtained a lot of optical data in support of this analysis.  We are working on writing up the journal article.

This project uses IRAC imaging. The galaxies we have targeted are called Active Galactic Nuclei, or AGN. They are called "active" because they emit large amounts of energy at many wavelengths above and beyond what we would calculate based on the total numbers of stars at their center.  We believe the excess energy is generated by material flowing into a huge black hole at their centers.  Our measurements of the infrared emission from these objects will be combined with our measurements of the radio emission from these same objects, as well as estimates made by professional astronomers of the masses of the black holes at their centers. We hope that we will learn more about how AGNs work by determining if and how their infrared and radio emissions depend on the mass of the black hole.
