Near-Infrared Polarimetric Observations of GRB Afterglows
We give a status report on our project of rapid follow-up polarimetric observations of GRB afterglows in the near-infrared. -
Infrared Observations of Magnetic Fields on Young Stars
We describe the motivation and techniques for studying magnetic fields on cool stars in general and young stars in particular. Photospheric magnetic... -
Active Galaxies in the Mid Infrared: Ground-Based versus Space-Born Observations
We investigate the mid-infrared radiation of galaxies that are powered by a starburst or by an AGN. For this end, we compare the spectra obtained at... -
Mid Infrared Spectroscopic Standards: Observations and Models
We present high precision N-band spectroscopy of a subsample of ESO mid infrared (MIR) calibration standard stars. The spectra were taken with the... -
Infrared Observation of Hot Cores
We report on mid-infrared imaging of hot cores performed with SpectroCam-10 and TIMMI2. The observations aimed at the detection of thermal emission... -
Hardware for Near-Infrared Observations—Adaptive Optics, Instrumentation, and Detectors
Following on the discussion of the properties of the near-infrared sky, we now describe the hardware suite required to successfully carry out... -
Infrared Spectroscopy
Coblentz determined the relation between infrared spectra and molecular identity. Infrared spectroscopy became a tool for chemical analysis widely... -
The Deepest Near-Infrared View of the Universe
We present very deep near-infrared imaging in the J s , H and K s -bands of the HDF-S and... -
Observations of the Convection Effects on Particles and Heat Transport in Liquid Metals Under Plasma Bombardment and Infrared Heat Radiation
To resolve technical issues associated with the plasma-facing components (PFCs) such as the divertor to be installed in a steady state magnetic...

Asteroseismology and the Infrared
Asteroseismolgy is a mature technique allowing to study the internal structure of pulsating stars. This technique has been successfully applied to... -
Infrared Speckle Observations of Binary Stars at the 6-m Telescope
AbstractSpeckle observations of binary stars were performed in the 900–1600 nm infrared range at the 6‒m telescope using the commercially available...

Probing Thick Planetary Atmospheres with High Resolution Infrared Spectroscopy
The giant planets, Venus, Titan, and, to a lesser extent, Mars, have thick planetary atmospheres that can be probed very efficiently by... -
Selection of Extragalactic Targets for AO and VLTI Observations
In this contribution we would like to emphasize the usefulness of data mining multiwavelength surveys like the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) or the... -
Map** the Interstellar Dust with Near-Infrared Observations: An Optimized Multi-Band Technique
We generalize Lada et al. (1994) NICE technique to map dust column density through a molecular cloud to an optimized multi-band technique that can be... -
Detection of the infrared aurora at Uranus with Keck-NIRSPEC
Near-infrared (NIR)-wavelength observations of Uranus have been unable to locate any infrared aurorae, despite many attempts to do so since the...

AO-Assisted Observations of Ultra-Compact H II Regions
High-spatial resolution observations in the near-infrared (NIR) with Adaptive Optics (AO) represent a powerful tool to investigate massive star... -
Prospects for Star Formation Studies with Mid-Infrared Instruments on Large Telescopes
Imaging and spectroscopic observations in the mid-infrared wavelength range (5μm-30μm) offer valuable insight into the origins of stars and planets.... -
Mid Infrared Variability of Herbig Ae/Be Stars
We present the first results of an observational ISO programme to study mid infrared variability in young intermediate mass Herbig Ae/Be stars. With... -
High-Resolution Infrared Spectroscopy of Protoplanetary Disks
High-resolution spectroscopy at near and mid-infrared wavelengths can provide important and unique information about protoplanetary disks around... -
