We present new images of the supernova remnant (SNR) Cas A observed in the 24 and 70 ЮМm bands of the Spitzer Space Telescope (Spitzer). ... The IR images also show a region in which the SNR forward shock appears to be propagating into a ~650 Msolar molecular cloud. The new images also show other details of the surrounding ISM structure, including two groups of knots extending ~6'-12' on either side of the SNR. ...

Next: M.E. Bailey, Director Up: Research Previous: C.S. Jeffery, Research Astronomer Contents . Dr Michael Smith has focused mainly on the earliest stages of stellar evolution: the processes leading to star formation from an initially unstable, collapsing cloud of gas, and the energetic outflows -- jets and winds -- associated with the formation and early evolution of protostars and pre-main-sequence stellar objects. ... Spectacular jets of molecules, however, betray its presence. ...

... DLTS . ... Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy ( DLTS ) is a unique and powerful tool for the study of electrically active defects (known as traps) in semiconductors. DLTS can be used in one of two modes of operation; with Schottky diodes or with p-n junctions. ... The capacitance transient is measured as a function of temperature (usually in the range from liquid nitrogen temperature to room temperature 300K or above). ...
