High Resolution Near-Infrared Imaging and Computer Simulations of a Lunar Occultation of the Galactic Center
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 September 2016
Abstract
A high resolution K-band (2.2 μm) image of the Galactic center was acquired as part of an effort to develop computer simulations of a lunar occultation of the IRS 16 region that was previously observed in 1986 September. Through our computer simulations and recent observations of another occultation that occurred in 1988 September, confident identifications of the objects detected during the 1986 September occultation were acquired. In particular, IRS 16C, 16SW, and 16NE were all identified and found to be unresolved (<0.05″ in angular extent).
