Book Description
We describe the Geophysics Laboratory Infrared Array Spectrometer, a long-slit spectrometer configured for astronomical observations at wavelengths of 7 to 14 microns. We present the history of the instrument's development and use at the Wyoming Infrared Observatory, discuss some of the problems faced, and describe the resultant scientific publications. The appendices to this report contain several of the more important scientific publications.

SPIRE - Spectral Infrared Rocket Experiment

Book Description
On 28 Sept., 1977 at 1533 GMT, a Talos Castor rocket carrying the SPIRE payload was launched from the Poker Flat Research Range, Alaska. The objective of the SPIRE experiment, which was supported by the Defense Nuclear Agency, was to obtain infrared emission spectra of the earth's upper atmosophere in a limb-viewing geometry to test theoretical predictions of enhanced nuclear backgrounds. Two cryogenically cooled CVF spectrometers and a dual channel photometer were used to spatially and spectrally map the horizon from 5000 Angstrom to 16.5 micro m. All three sensors were telescoped with low scatter optics that resolved an 8-km footprint at the limb while rejecting competitive terrestrial and solar radiation. SPIRE successfully achieved all major objectives, making near simultaneous spectral measurements of both the sunlit and night earth limb in the SWIR and LWIR. Many of the atmosphere's infrared-active species were observed during some 12 separate elevation scans at different azimuth angles from the sun. These include OH, NO, CO2, H2O, O3, and HNO3.

The Far Infrared Sky Survey Experiment Final Report
Author: Stephan D. PricePublisher:
ISBN:
Category : H II regions (Astrophysics)
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
Approximately 9000 square degrees of the celestial sphere was surveyed in four infrared bands with a rocket-probe-borne telescope. This Far Infrared Sky Survey Experiment (FIRSSE) covered the galactic plane between 120 degrees and 255 degrees longitude and the Orion and Taurus Molecular Clouds. A list of almost 300 bright 90 μm sources is presented along with associated measurements at 20, 27, and 40 μm. A description is given of the conduct of the experiment, the first space-borne use of super-fluid helium under active thermal loading.
