Spectral Irradiance Calibration in the Infrared. X. A Self-Consistent Radiometric All-Sky Network of Absolutely Calibrated Stellar Spectra
TL;DR: In this article, the authors start from six absolutely calibrated continuous stellar spectra from 1.2 to 35?m for K0, K1.5, K3, K5, and M0 giants, and normalize each template by photometry for the individual stars using published and/or newly secured near and mid-infrared photometry obtained through fully characterized, absolutely calibrated, combinations of filter passband, detector radiance response, and mean terrestrial atmospheric transmission.

Midcourse Space Experiment Survey of the Galactic Plane
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a panoramic image of the entire Galactic plane within 5° in four mid-infrared spectral bands between 6 and 25 μm at a spatial resolution of ~183, which was redundant within |b| ≤ 45 with fourfold coverage over two-thirds of the area.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Population of Cold Cores in the Galactic Plane
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors find dense (n > 105 cm−3), cold (T < 20 K) cores, without accompanying envelopes, in a 1° × 180° scan along the Galactic equator.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Physical Properties of the Midcourse Space Experiment Galactic Infrared-dark Clouds
TL;DR: In this paper, the physical properties of 10 of these MSX dark clouds using millimeter-wave molecular rotational lines as an indicator of dense molecular gas were detected in millimeter spectral lines of H2CO, which confirms the presence of dense gas.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Origin of the Magellanic Stream and its Leading Arm
TL;DR: The Magellanic Stream (MS) using a Gaussian decomposition of the H I velocity proles in the Leiden-Argentine-Bonn (LAB) all-sky H I survey was explored in this paper.

CEDAR: An aeronomy initiative
TL;DR: A 3-year process of committee deliberations and community-wide annual workshops by scientists involved in aeronomical studies has led recently to the presentation of a final report to the National Science Foundation, outlining a comprehensive 7-year plan for the ground-based study of the earth's upper atmosphere.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Space-based visible surveillance experiment
TL;DR: A small visible-band sensor, built by Lincoln Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will be flown as part of a sensor ensemble on the Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) satellite, an SDIO program as discussed by the authors.

Strategic Scene Generation Model: baseline and operational software
TL;DR: The SSGM design architecture, the software modules and databases which are used to create scene elements, the synthesis of deterministic and/or stochastic structured scene elements into composite scenes, theSoftware system to manage the various databases and digital image libraries, and verification and validation by comparison with empirical data are described.
