This award will support the University of Arizona participation                 in a collaboration of the University of Arizona, Smithsonian                    Astrophysical Observatory, and Naval Research Laboratory in the                 construction and astronomical use of a mid-infrared array                       camera.  This camera will use a Hughes Aircraft Company 20 x 64                 Arsenic Doped Silicon Impurity Band Conduction Hybrid Array with                a Capacitance Transimpedances Amplifier readout.  This detector                 is particularly suited to providing high sensitivity in both the                10 and 20um atmospheric windows under high background flux                      ground-based observing conditions.  Reflective optics will                      provide both diffraction limited (0.7 arc seconds/pixel) and                    superresolution (.34 arc seconds/pixel) operation.  The camera                  electronics and computer provide for operation up to 5000                       frames/second to prevent detect saturation at high backorder.                   The initial observing program will focus on a variety of                        continuum and spectral line observations of star forming regions                in the Milky Way and other galaxies.  Some examples are:  thermal               emission from circumstellar disks of low-mass stars, shocked gas                in star formation regions, velocity flows in the galactic center                with NeII line imaging, and the nuclei of active galaxies.
