Infrared spectrophotometry of bright carbon stars

Bright infrared emission from electrically induced excitons in carbon nanotubes.

We used the high local electric fields at the junction between the suspended and supported parts of a single carbon nanotube molecule to produce unusually bright infrared emission under unipolar operation. Carriers were accelerated by band-bending at the suspension interface, and they created excitons that radiatively recombined. This excitation mechanism is approximately 1000 times more effici...

Infrared spectrophotometry of enteric bacteria.

Infrared spectrophotometry is rapidly assuming an important place in the biological sciences. Its value derives from the fact that each organic compound has a characteristic and distinct infrared spectrum that can be used to identify it (Randall et al., 1949). The biologist working with cells or tissues is confronted by a highly complex mixture of substances. The infrared spectrum of a cell, th...

Infrared spectra of carbon stars observed by the ISO SWS ?

We analyzed the mid-infrared spectra of 4 optical carbon stars and 4 candidates of infrared carbon stars obtained with the ISO SWS. It has been revealed that special care should be taken in determining the continuum levels for the analysis of the emission and absorption bands of HCN and C2H2 at 14 μm; otherwise the SiC emission at 11 μm as well as molecular absorption at 7.5 μm may lead to the ...

Nicmos Spectrophotometry and Models for A–stars

Absolute flux distributions for eight stars are well measured from 0.8–2.5 μm with NICMOS grism spectrophotometry at a resolution of R ∼ 100 and an accuracy of 1–2%. These SEDs are fit with Castelli & Kurucz model atmospheres; and the results are compared with the Cohen-Walker-Witteborn (CWW) template models for the same stars. In some cases, the Teff , log g, and log z parameters of the best f...
