TL;DR: The Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) as discussed by the authors consists of a spacecraft and a liquid helium cryostat that contains a cooled IR telescope, whose focal plane assembly is cooled to less than 3 K, and contains 62 IR detectors in the survey array.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal infrared and nonthermal radio: remarkable correlation in disks of galaxies
TL;DR: In this paper, a linear correlation was established between the far-infrared flux measured by IRAS and the nonthermal radio flux density (at 1.4 GHz) from disks of spiral galaxies.
