TLDR
The Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) as discussed by the authors provides long-wavelength capability for the mission in imaging bands at 24, 70, and 160?m and measurements of spectral energy distributions between 52 and 100?m at a spectral resolution of about 7%.Abstract:
The Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) provides long-wavelength capability for the mission in imaging bands at 24, 70, and 160 ?m and measurements of spectral energy distributions between 52 and 100 ?m at a spectral resolution of about 7%. By using true detector arrays in each band, it provides both critical sampling of the Spitzer point-spread function and relatively large imaging fields of view, allowing for substantial advances in sensitivity, angular resolution, and efficiency of areal coverage compared with previous space far-infrared capabilities. The 24 ?m array has excellent photometric properties, and measurements with rms relative errors of about 1% can be obtained. The two longer-wavelength arrays use detectors with poor photometric stability, but a system of onboard stimulators used for relative calibration, combined with a unique data pipeline, produce good photometry with rms relative errors of less than 10%.read more

The Star Formation Efficiency in Nearby Galaxies: Measuring Where Gas Forms Stars Effectively
Adam Leroy,Fabian Walter,Elias Brinks,Frank Bigiel,W. J. G. de Blok,W. J. G. de Blok,Barry F. Madore,Michele D. Thornley +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the star formation efficiency (SFE) per unit of gas in 23 nearby galaxies and compare it with expectations from proposed star formation laws and thresholds was measured, and the authors interpreted this decline as a strong dependence of giant molecular cloud (GMC) formation on environment.
