CG4 Fall Work
First draft of Science Abstract:
We used archival Spitzer data to look for new young stellar objects (YSOs) in Cometary Globule 4 (CG4) in Puppis. CG4 is approximately 1300 parsecs and one of about 30 cometary globules in the Gum Nebula, many of which are known to be forming stars. These globules are pointed generally radially outward from the center of the Vela OB2 association, which is also forming stars. CG4 is dramatic in appearance, and that has brought it to the attention of both scientists and the public. Our team used archival Spitzer InfraRed Array Camera (IRAC) and Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) data and 2 Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) data, as well as optical data obtained by collaborators. We used infrared excess to find eight previously known YSOs and additional new YSOs in this region. We will primarily use infrared excess to find new YSOs. We used available data to attempt to determine legitimate cluster members, and to separate CG4’s YSOs from other objects with similar spectral energy distributions (SEDs). This research was made possible through the NASA/IPAC Teacher Archive Research Project (NITARP) and was funded by the Spitzer Science Center (SSC).

Also, send me the names of all authors to be listed. For example, I will write the Breck team as ... Chelen Johnson, Rachel Crump, Anna Laorr, Kayla Mork, Emma Steinbergs, Sara Trautz, Elizabeth Wigley, Sally Caruso, Heather Balenger, Nina Killingstad, Taylor McCanna. We will identify schools with superscripts and a key. (See [[[previous NITARP posters]]http://coolwiki.ipac.caltech.edu/index.php/Posters_and_Handouts_from_AAS_meetings] for an example.)
