Stauffer-5CSW13, Hamburg July 2004 What Data Have Been Obtained by Spitzer? First 3 months in orbit – “In Orbit Checkout” and “Science Verification”. Includes Early Release Observations and “First Look Survey”. Since December ’03, “normal operations” – but targets limited to: –Guaranteed time observers (GTO’s). These are the instrument builders and members of the Science Working Group. Data have a one year proprietary period. –“Legacy Science” Teams – six teams, each awarded 350-850 hours of time in order to pursue a single science theme. Data are non-proprietary. See http://ssc.spitzer.caltech.edu/approvdprog/ for details.http://ssc.spitzer.caltech.edu/approvdprog/

Spitzer Space Telescope IRAC Colors of Young Stellar Objects IRAC colors obtained toward four young stellar clusters show a population of sources with very red IRAC colors.
18
Spitzer Space Telescope IRAC Colors of Young Stellar Objects The colors cannot be the result of reddening, which makes the sources increasingly blue in the [5.8]-[8.0] color. 30 A V vectors The slope of reddening vector is dependent on the reddening law and the spectral shape of the source.

Stauffer-35CSW13, Hamburg July 2004 Pleiades Data from UA/SAO combined program – E. Young, G. Rieke, J. Muzzerole, J. Stauffer et al.
36
Stauffer-36CSW13, Hamburg July 2004 Pleiades A stars at 8 Microns Most of the Pleiades A stars do not show extended emission at IRAC wavelengths (i.e. they look like the star at the bottom right). Three of them do show extended emission at 8 microns, however. These may just be the stars that happen to have dust streamers near to them. Or, function of spectral type (UV color)? Or, ? DSS

SSC - 40July 04Hamburg CSW13 Small Portion of IRAC 1 Sq. Degree Map of the Pleiades HHJ 8 – lower marked object. Just above HBML. I = 17.1, M(4.5mu) = 13.0 Upper object is field star with M(4.5mu) = 15.2 – indicating that the 24 seconds of integration time for this AOR allows detection of Pleiades brown dwarfs to well below the HBML. IRAC Ch2 (4.5 microns)
41
SSC - 41July 04Hamburg CSW13 IRAC Ch. 2 (4.5 micron) – 300 second integration The 3 named stars in this field are probable Pleiades late-type members with IRAC Ch. 2 mag ~ 13.5. The faintest stars in this field (5 sigma detections) have Ch. 2 mag ~ 17.0, or abs. mag ~ 11.5. BCAH2000 models predict Ch.2 mag = 11.1 for 10 M(Jup) bd at Pleiades age (T ~ 910 K). The IRAC Pleiades deep survey will obtain 800 second integrations for 2400 sq. arcmin (2/3 sq. deg), which should allow identification of Pleiades members to at least 10 M(Jup) – sp. Type ~T5 at Pleiades age. That survey should begin in about six weeks. HCG254 HHJ92 MHO11
