TL;DR: The Kuiper Widefield Infrared Camera (KWIC) as discussed by the authors is a wide-field imaging spectrometer for use on the KAO in the wavelength range of 18 to 44 micron.
Abstract: The Kuiper Widefield Infrared Camera (KWIC) is a wide-field (5.8 arcmin x 5.8 arcmin) imaging spectrometer for use on the KAO in the wavelength range of 18 to 44 micron. Two resolution modes, R = 35 to 200 and R = 2000 to 10,000 are available. Diffraction limited and near background limited images were obtained on the first flights.

TL;DR: The 158 micro m (CII) line has been mapped in the galaxies Centaurus A, M83, NGC 6946, and NGC 891 as discussed by the authors, showing that the emission exists over very large scales, peaking in the nuclei and extending beyond the spiral arms and molecular disks.
Abstract: The 158 micro m (CII) line has been mapped in the galaxies Centaurus A, M83, NGC 6946, and NGC 891 The emission exists over very large scales, peaking in the nuclei and extending beyond the spiral arms and molecular disks While most of the (CII) emission from the nuclei and spiral arms originates in photodissociated gas, the diffuse atomic gas can account for much of the (CII) emission in the extended regions
