  1. FLITECAM – Compelling Science Ian McLean UCLA

  2. FLITECAM (Wide-Field 1-5 micron Camera) ***IMAGING***SPECTROSCOPY***OCCULTATIONS***  Globular Cluster Planetary Nebula  JHK color composite of Orion obtained with FLITECAM on the Lick 3-m telescope. M57 M30 PIPELINE REDUCED  Supernova Remnant M1 NGC7331 Spiral Galaxy  Initial demonstrations at JK; emphasis in flight will be KM

  3. Sol: G star T ~ 5500 K L dwarf T ~ 2000 K Jupiter T ~ 130 K M dwarf T ~ 3000 K T dwarf T < 1500 K FLITECAM Hunting for Super-Planets with FLITECAM Method proved in H-band CH4 in spectrum T Dwarfs 8 arcmin FoV Wide-field imaging of young clusters using narrow band filters designed to detect methane; very strong band at 3.3 microns. Too faint for spectroscopy – even at Keck. Mass < 13 MJupiter

  4. NGC7027: Observing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) 3.3 m PAH 3.6 micron continuum 3.3 micron PAH band SLIT PAH feature Tracing PAHs in PPN, PN & SFRs with FLITECAM IMAGES AND SPECTRA R ~ 2000 PAH 3.3 micron feature is important & complimentary to longer wavelength features.
