TL;DR: The Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) is one of three focal plane instruments on the Spitzer Space Telescope as mentioned in this paper, which is a four-channel camera that obtains simultaneous broadband images at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 m.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Cosmic Microwave Background spectrum from the full COBE FIRAS data set
TL;DR: In this article, the Far-InfraRed Absolute Spectrophotometer (FIRAS) on board the COBE (COsmic Background Explorer) is used to measure the difference between the cosmic microwave background and a precise blackbody spectrum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection and Characterization of Cold Interstellar Dust and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Emission, from COBE Observations
E. Dwek,R. G. Arendt,D. J. Fixsen,T. J. Sodroski,N. Odegard,Janet L. Weiland,William T. Reach,M. G. Hauser,T. Kelsall,Samuel H. Moseley,Robert F. Silverberg,Rick Shafer,Jose Luis Ballester,D. Bazell,R.B. Isaacman +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the mean 3.5-240 μm spectrum of high-latitude dust, obtained by the DIRBE instrument on the COBE spacecraft, and showed that at wavelengths shorter than 60 μm the spectrum shows an excess of emission over that expected from very small dust particles undergoing temperature fluctuations.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Spectral Results of the Far-Infrared Absolute Spectrophotometer Instrument on COBE
D. J. Fixsen,John C. Mather +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the cosmic microwave background (CMB) spectral results of the Far-Infrared Absolute Spectrophotometer (FIRAS) instrument are summarized and some questions that have been raised about the calibration accuracy are also addressed.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize the in-flight scientific, technical, and operational performance of IRAC in two nearly adjacent fields of view on the Spitzer Space Telescope (SST) and show that IRAC is a four-channel camera that obtains simultaneous broad-band images at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 μm.
