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.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Far-Infrared Absolute Spectrophotomer (FIRAS) instrument on the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite was used to obtain a blackbody spectrum within 3.4 x 10(exp -8) ergs/sq cm/s/sr cm over the frequency range from 2 to 20/cm (5-0.5 mm).

TL;DR: The results of the DIRBE search were presented in this paper, showing that only the 140 and 240 μm data provided candidate detections of the CIB. But no plausible solar system or Galactic source of the observed 140 and 120 μm residuals can be identified, leading to the conclusion that the C IB has been detected at levels of νIν = 25 ± 7 and 14 ± 3 nW m-2 sr-1 at 140 and240 μm, respectively.

TL;DR: The Primordial Inflation Explorer (PIXIE) as mentioned in this paper is an Explorer-class mission to measure the gravity-wave signature of primordial inflation through its distinctive imprint on the linear polarization of the cosmic microwave background.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the COBE Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment (DIRBE) to search for the cosmic infrared background (CIB) radiation and extracted the zodiacal light foreground contribution in each of the 10 DIRBE wavelength bands ranging from 1.25 to 240 μm.
