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

open access: yes, 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.

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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

On-orbit performance of the Spitzer Space Telescope [PDF]

open access: yesSPIE Proceedings, 2004
The Spitzer Space Telescope (formally known as SIRTF) was successfully launched on August 25, 2003, and has completed its initial in-orbit checkout and science validation and calibration period. The measured performance of the observatory has met or exceeded all of its high-level requirements, it has entered normal operations, and is beginning to ...

Progress in Diamanes and Diamanoids Nanosystems for Emerging Technologies

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 9, Issue 11, April 14, 2022., 2022
Diamanes and diamanoids are newly discovered graphitic carbon nanostructures. These nanosystems are sp3 carbon networks along with few sp2 hybridized carbon atoms which can be fabricated under controlled temperature & pressure using graphitic system as a precursor.

PHANGS–JWST First Results: Duration of the Early Phase of Massive Star Formation in NGC 628

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
The earliest stages of star formation, when young stars are still deeply embedded in their natal clouds, represent a critical phase in the matter cycle between gas clouds and young stellar regions.

THE SPITZER SPACE TELESCOPE SURVEY OF THE ORION A AND B MOLECULAR CLOUDS. I. A CENSUS OF DUSTY YOUNG STELLAR OBJECTS AND A STUDY OF THEIR MID-INFRARED VARIABILITY [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We present a survey of the Orion A and B molecular clouds undertaken with the IRAC and MIPS instruments on board Spitzer. In total, five distinct fields were mapped, covering 9 deg2 in five mid-IR bands spanning 3–24 μm.

Visible to Mid‐Infrared Optical Constants of Orthopyroxenes

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Radiative transfer models of remotely acquired infrared spectra result in quantitative identification of minerals on planetary surfaces. Optical constants, or the real (n) and imaginary (k) indices of refraction are necessary inputs in such models.

Spitzer Space TelescopeObservations of Kepler’s Supernova Remnant: A Detailed Look at the Circumstellar Dust Component [PDF]

open access: bronze, 2007
We present 3.6-160 μm infrared images of Kepler's supernova remnant (SN 1604) obtained with the IRAC and MIPS instruments on the Spitzer Space Telescope. We also present MIPS SED low-resolution spectra in the 55-95 μm region. The observed emission in the

An investigation of open cluster Melotte 72 using Gaia DR2

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 342, Issue 4, Page 613-624, May 2021., 2021
Abstract The estimation of the main parameters of star clusters is significant in astrophysical studies. The most important aspect of using the Gaia DR2 survey lies in the positions, parallax, and proper motions of cluster stars with homogeneous photometry that make the membership probability determine with high accuracy.
