    Defocused transmission spectroscopy: a potential detection of sodium in the atmosphere of WASP-12b
    We report on a pilot study of a novel observing technique, defocused transmission spectroscopy, and its application to the study of exoplanet atmospheres using ground-based platforms. Similar to defocused photometry, defocused transmission spectroscopy has an added advantage over normal spectroscopy in that it reduces systematic errors due to flat

    Cospatial Longslit UV-Optical Spectra of Ten Galactic Planetary Nebulae with HST STIS: Description of observations, global emission-line measurements, and empirical CNO abundances
    This poster describes details of HST Cycle 19 (program GO 12600), which was awarded 32 orbits of observing time with STIS to obtain the first cospatial UV-optical spectra of 10 Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe). The observational goal was to measure the UV emission lines of carbon and nitrogen with unprecedented S/N and wavelength and spatial

    Comparing polarized submm emission and near-infrared extinction polarization in the Vela C giant molecular cloud
    We present one of largest studies to date of combined near-infrared and submillimeter linear polarization data for a giant molecular cloud. The dust polarized emission data (at 250, 350 and 500 μm) were obtained using the Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry (BLASTPol) during its 2012 Antarctic flight. The near

    Chemical Cartography with SDSS-III APOGEE: DR12 Results
    The SDSS-III Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) spectrograph provides an unprecedented view of the Milky Way disk, due in part to its ability to observe in the infrared, where the effects of extinction are significantly reduced compared to optical surveys. We present updated results on mean metallicity and chemical

    Chemical Abundance Comparisons Between ASPCAP and Manual Analyses in Open Cluster Red Giants
    The APOGEE Stellar Parameter and Chemical Abundance Pipeline (ASPCAP) has now produced individual chemical abundances for 15 different elements: C, N, O, Na, Mg, Al, Si, S, K, Ca, Ti, V, Mn, Fe, and Ni. We will present comparisons of the ASPCAP abundances for stars in clusters with those derived from manual stellar parameter and abundance analyses

    Central Star Properties and C-N-O Abundances in Eight Galactic Planetary Nebulae from New HST/STIS Observations
    We present detailed photoionization models of eight Galactic planetary nebulae (IC2165, IC3568, NGC2440, NGC3242, NGC5315, NGC5882, NGC7662, & PB6) based on recently obtained HST STIS spectra. Our interim goal is to infer Teff, luminosity, and current and progenitor masses for each central star, while the ultimate goal is to constrain published
