Posters and Handouts from AAS meetings

This link contains posters we have presented at AAS meetings, and handouts we have provided with the posters.

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 page. We have obtained a lot of optical data in support of this analysis. We are working on writing up the journal article.

Please see our quick introduction to IC 2118 and more lengthy introduction to IC 2118. You may also be interested in general information on studying young stars.

The M81 project obtained IRAC and MIPS imaging of a region near M81 to look for regions of star formation in M81's tidal dwarf companions. We took a science poster to the January 2007 AAS: Hedden et al., "Multiwavelength Observations of Tidally Induced Star Formation in the M81 Group.

Please see our quick introduction to M81.
