Using CGS4 on UKIRT, we have obtained the first 2.05-2.45 μm infrared spectra of the Galactic bulge low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) GX1+4 and GX13+1. We report...
Infrared spectroscopy of low-mass X-ray binaries - II
Using CGS4 on UKIRT, we have obtained 2.00-2.45 mu m infrared spectra of a number of low-mass X-ray binaries including Sco X-1, Sco X-2 and GX1 3+1. Sco X-1...
Infrared Spectroscopy of RNA Nucleosides in a Wide Range of Temperatures
The RNA world hypothesis suggests that early cellular ancestors relied solely on RNA molecules for both genetic information storage and cellular functions. RNA...
Infrared spectroscopy of the largest known trans-Neptunian object 2001 KX75
We report complete near-infrared (0.9-2.4 mu m) spectral observations of the largest know trans-Neptunian objects (TNO) 28976 = 2001 KX76 taken in two different...
Infrared spectroscopy of V404 Cygni: limits on the accretion disc contamination
We have obtained for the first time 2.10-2.45 μm infrared spectra of the soft-X-ray transient V404 Cygni. We determine a 95 per cent confidence upper limit to...
Infrared spectroscopy of V616 Monocerotis (=A0620-00): the accretion disc contamination
We have obtained for the first time K-band infrared spectra of the soft X-ray transient V616 Mon (=A0620-00). We determine the 2-sigma upper limit to the...
Infrared standards for ISO. I. A new calibration of mid infrared photometry
We present N, 8.7 mu m, 9.8 mu m 12.5 mu m and Q bolometry of 26 stars which were observed on the IRTF. These are primarily K giants which have been well...
Infrared studies of H II regions - The Sharpless regions S148, 184, 198, 206 and 269
The results of a combined near-infrared and IRAS mapping study of five H II regions are presented for which fairly complete information at optical and radio...
Infrared studies of Seyfert galaxies and of the irregular galaxy M 82
Middle and far infrared studies of the irregular galaxy M 82 and of Seyfert galaxies are presented. M 82 was observed spectrophotometrically from 8 to 13...
