In-flight performance and calibration of the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) for the Spitzer Space Telescope [PDF]

SPIE Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation, 2004
The Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) is one of three focal plane instruments on board the Spitzer Space Telescope. IRAC is a four-channel camera that obtains simultaneous broad-band images at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 μm in two nearly adjacent fields of view ...

SN 2023ixf in Messier 101: A Variable Red Supergiant as the Progenitor Candidate to a Type II Supernova

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We present preexplosion optical and infrared (IR) imaging at the site of the type II supernova (SN II) 2023ixf in Messier 101 at 6.9 Mpc. We astrometrically registered a ground-based image of SN 2023ixf to archival Hubble Space Telescope (HST), Spitzer ...

Astrophysical Distance Scale. VII. A Self-consistent, Multiwavelength Calibration of the Slopes and Relative Zero Points for the Run of Luminosity with the Color of Stars Defining the Tip of the Red Giant Branch

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
Given the recent successful launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, determining robust calibrations of the slopes and absolute magnitudes of the near- to mid-infrared tip of the red-giant branch (TRGB) will be essential to measuring precise ...

Decomposition of the central structure of NGC 2273 in the NIR: A case study

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 10, December 2023., 2023
Abstract The Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 2273 is a prime target to explore how active nuclei can be fed. It has a star‐forming innermost nuclear ring with a radius of 0.33kpc from where material may be funneled to the supermassive black hole in its center. In this article, we discuss high‐resolution adaptive optics aided JHKs images of NGC 2273 taken with the

Absolute Calibration of the Infrared Array Camera on the Spitzer Space Telescope [PDF]

, 2005
The Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on the Spitzer Space Telescope is absolutely calibrated by comparing photometry of a set of A stars near the north ecliptic pole to predictions based on ground‐based observations and a stellar atmosphere model.

Evaluating the GeoSnap 13‐μ$$ \mu $$m cutoff HgCdTe detector for mid‐IR ground‐based astronomy

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 8-9, October-November 2023., 2023
Abstract New mid‐infrared HgCdTe (MCT) detector arrays developed in collaboration with Teledyne Imaging Sensors (TIS) have paved the way for improved 10‐μ$$ \mu $$m sensors for space‐ and ground‐based observatories. Building on the successful development of longwave HAWAII‐2RGs for space missions such as NEO Surveyor, we characterize the first 13‐μ ...

Improved data transfer efficiency for scale‐out heterogeneous workloads using on‐the‐fly I/O link compression

Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, Volume 35, Issue 11, 15 May 2023., 2023
Summary Graphics processing units (GPUs) are unarguably vital to keep up with the perpetually growing demand for compute capacity of data‐intensive applications. However, the overhead of transferring data between host and GPU memory is already a major limiting factor on the single‐node level. The situation intensifies in scale‐out scenarios, where data

Spitzer IRS Observations of Titan as a Precursor to JWST MIRI Observations

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023
In this work, we present for the first time infrared spectra of Titan from the Spitzer Space Telescope (2004–2009). The data are from both the short wavelength–low resolution (SL; 5.13–14.29 μ m, R ∼ 60–127) and short wavelength–high resolution (SH; 9.89–

Suspending failure: temporalities, ontologies, and gigantism in fusion energy development

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 29, Issue S1, Page 114-132, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Tracing the history of terrestrial fusion energy to a giant multinational experimental fusion facility under construction reveals a series of consequential failures, re‐evaluations of once defunct designs, but also persistence. To account for how this vast enterprise, dogged by failure, endures, I suggest that different ontological narratives ...
