IronStars AS 325 Proposal News
News
The Iron Star Group visited the SSC during April 10-12, 2006 to reduce data for their observation of AS 325 which was
observed on October 10th, 2005. The other object XX Oph was observed in Cycle I and that data was available in
late spring of 2006. The group read and summarized journal articles to get some insight into infrared
spectroscopy and better understand their data. They are working on a model that will help them calculate the density of the molecular cloud.

Proposed Observation Time
IRS Staring
We will obtain Spitzer IRS high resolution spectra of AS 325.
We will use the low resolution capabilities of the IRS on Spitzer to obtain mid-infrared spectral energy distribution (SED).
The IRS_Peakup with the moderate option and a blue filter will not only insure accuracy but will also provide an image of the target.
We will utilize the Hi_Short, Hi_Long, Lo_Short5, Lo_Short7 features of the IRS with varying exposures and cycles based on a flux density of 60.4 mJy.
Total exposure time, including overhead, for this proposal is 1966.7 seconds or 32 minutes.
