Title:
JHKL photometry of Spitzer targets
Project Description:
When the sun grows old, it will blow off the outer half of its mass in a 'superwind' that will envelop the sun and solar system in dust and gas. Astronomers on the 2.3m tonight are using infrared detectors to study stars in the 'superwind' state to try to learn more about this phenomenon.
