The Galactic Plane Infrared Polarization Survey (GPIPS)

机构：波士顿大学（Boston university），类型：Daniel ClemensTITLE：银河面红外偏振测量（GPIPS）。波士顿大学的丹尼尔·克莱门斯（Daniel Clemens）将对银河系第一象限的大量恒星进行1.6微米吸收偏振测量。银河面红外偏振测量（GPIPS）的结果将用于研究银河系磁场，并获得恒星光度和光谱能量分布以及星际尘埃的性质。这些研究得益于在其他波长进行的重叠调查，使这项调查及时并与其他工作相辅相成。这些数据将被发布给一般天文团体，用于与银河系结构有关的各种研究。对于公众和外联专业人士，GPIPS提供的深度全景图像将在讲座，教科书，新闻发布和教室中有用。GPIPS还将提供研究生和本科生的培训。

AST-0607500INSTITUTION: Boston UniversityPI: Daniel ClemensTITLE: The Galactic Plane Infrared Polarization Survey (GPIPS)ABSTRACTDr. Daniel Clemens, at Boston University, will undertake a 1.6-micron absorption polarimetry survey toward a large number of stars in the first Galactic quadrant. The results of the Galactic Plane Infrared Polarization Survey (GPIPS) will be used for studies of the Galactic magnetic field, and to obtain stellar photometry and spectral energy distributions and the properties of interstellar dust. Such studies benefit from overlapping, ongoing surveys at other wavelengths, making this survey timely and complementary to other efforts. The data will be released to the general astronomical community for use in a variety of studies relating to Galactic structure. For the public and outreach professionals, the deep panoramic images GPIPS provides will be useful in lectures, textbooks, news releases and classrooms. GPIPS will also provide for training of graduate and undergraduate students.
