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.

The DESI Experiment Part I: Science,Targeting, and Survey Design

Amir Aghamousa, +291 more
TL;DR: DESI as discussed by the authors is a ground-based dark energy experiment that will study baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) and the growth of structure through redshift-space distortions with a wide-area galaxy and quasar redshift survey.
Journal ArticleDOI

A map of the day–night contrast of the extrasolar planet HD 189733b

TL;DR: Observations of HD 189733, the closest of these eclipsing planetary systems, over half an orbital period are reported, from which a ‘map’ of the distribution of temperatures is constructed, indicating that energy from the irradiated dayside is efficiently redistributed throughout the atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI

A spitzer survey of young stellar clusters within one kiloparsec of the sun: cluster core extraction and basic structural analysis

TL;DR: In this article, a uniform mid-infrared imaging and photometric survey of 36 young, nearby, star-forming clusters and groups using Spitzer IRAC and MIPS is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

From molecular cores to planet-forming disks: An SIRTF legacy program

TL;DR: The Space Infrared Telescope (SIRTF) provides an unprecedented improvement in sensitivity as mentioned in this paper, which can be used to observe sources that span the evolutionary sequence from molecular cores to protoplanetary disks, encompassing a wide range of cloud masses, stellar masses, and star forming environments.
