This report describes in detail the generation of a truth spectrum of HR 6348, using observations with the Short-Low (SL) module of the Infrared Spectrograph of HR 6348, and the A dwarfs alpha Lac and delta UMi. Using spectral ratios, we can propagate Kurucz models of the A dwarfs to the K giant HR 6348, which can then serve to calibrate the remaining database of SL spectra. Mitigation in the vicinity of the Pfund-a line is necessary to reduce residual artifacts at 7.45 um. In general, the new SL spectrum of HR 6348 has a spectroscopic fidelity of ~0.5% or better. Artifacts from the hydrogen recombination lines in the A dwarfs will generally be smaller than this limit, although the residual artifact from the blend of lines near Pfund-alpha exceeds the limit at ~0.7%.

This report describes the generation of fully calibrated spectra of the K giants HR 6348 and HD 173511 from data obtained with the low-resolution modules of the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS), with an emphasis on the spectra from the Long-Low (LL) modul e. The spectra were calibrated using Kurucz models and IRS observations of the A dwarfs alpha Lac and delta UMi. The calibration process required mitigation for fringing in the first-order LL spectrum and a faint red excess in alpha Lac which may arise from a low-contrast debris disk. The final calibrated spectrum of HR 6348 has a spectroscopic fidelity of 0.5% or better below 29 um, with an uncertainty increasing to ~1% at 33-37 um. The final calibrated spectrum of HD 173511 has a spectroscopic fidelity of ~0.5% at all wavelengths below 35.8 um.

We investigate how the shape of a spectrum in the Short-Low module on the IRS varies with its overall throughput, which depends on how well centered a source is in the spectroscopic slit. Using flux ratios to quantify the overall slope or color of th e spectrum and plotting them vs. the overall throughput reveals a double-valued function, which arises from asymmetries in the point spread function. We use this plot as a means of determining which individual spectra are valid for calibrating the IRS.

We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) gas and dust observations at band 7 (339~GHz: 0.89~mm) of the protoplanetary disk around a very low mass star ZZ~Tau~IRS with a spatial resolution of 0farcs25. The $^{12}$CO~$J=3rightarro w2$ position--velocity diagram suggests a dynamical mass of ZZ~Tau~IRS of $sim$0.1--0.3~$M_{sun}$. The disk has a total flux density of 273.9 mJy, corresponding to an estimated mass of 24--50~$M_oplus$ in dust. The dust emission map shows a ring at $r=$ 58~au and an azimuthal asymmetry at $r=$ jh{45}~au with a position angle of 135degr. The properties of the asymmetry, including radial width, aspect ratio, contrast, and contribution to the total flux, were found to be similar to the asymmetries around intermediate mass stars ($sim$2~$M_{sun}$) such as MWC~758 and IRS~48. This implies that the asymmetry in the ZZ~Tau~IRS disk shares a similar origin with others, despite the star being $sim$10 times less massive. Our observations also suggest that the inner and outer parts of the disk may be misaligned. Overall, the ZZ~Tau~IRS disk shows evidence of giant planet formation at $sim$10 au scale at a few Myr. If confirmed, it will challenge existing core accretion models, in which such planets have been predicted to be extremely hard to form around very low mass stars.
We present a calibration of the acquisition data obtained by the Red Peak-Up (PU) sub-array on the Infrared Spectrograph on Spitzer, based on repeated observations of three K giants. This calibration is tied directly to the most current infrared cali bration based on data from Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer. An analysis of the responsivity of the Red PU sub-array reveals no detectable deviations from linearity in the most recent pipeline version, but older pipeli
The $sim500$, Myr A2IV star HR 1645 has one of the most significant low-amplitude accelerations of nearby early-type stars measured from a comparison of the {it Hipparcos} and {it Gaia} astrometric catalogues. This signal is consistent with either a stellar companion with a moderate mass ratio ($qsim0.5$) on a short period ($P<1$,yr), or a substellar companion at a separation wide enough to be resolved with ground-based high contrast imaging instruments; long-period equal mass ratio stellar companions that are also consistent with the measured acceleration are excluded with previous imaging observations. The small but significant amplitude of the acceleration made HR 1645 a promising candidate for targeted searches for brown dwarf and planetary-mass companions around nearby, young stars. In this paper we explore the origin of the astrometric acceleration by modelling the signal induced by a wide-orbit M8 companion discovered with the Gemini Planet Imager, as well as the effects of an inner short-period spectroscopic companion discovered a century ago but not since followed-up. We present the first constraints on the orbit of the inner companion, and demonstrate that it is a plausible cause of the astrometric acceleration. This result demonstrates the importance of vetting of targets with measured astrometric acceleration for short-period stellar companions prior to conducting targeted direct imaging surveys for wide-orbit substellar companions.
