The Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) for the Spitzer Space Telescope

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.

Absolute Calibration of the Infrared Array Camera on the Spitzer Space Telescope

TL;DR: 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 as mentioned in this paper.
