The Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS)
- G. Rieke, E. Young, +40 authors P. Richards
- Physics
- 1 September 2004
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… Expand
Absolute Calibration and Characterization of the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer. I. The Stellar Calibrator Sample and the 24 μm Calibration
- C. Engelbracht, M. Blaylock, +23 authors F. Marleau
- Physics
- 17 April 2007
We present the stellar calibrator sample and the conversion from instrumental to physical units for the 24 μm channel of the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS). The primary calibrators… Expand
Reduction Algorithms for the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer
ABSTRACT We describe the data reduction algorithms for the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS). These algorithms were based on extensive preflight testing and modeling of the Si:As (24… Expand
Debris disk evolution around a stars
We report 24 and/or 70 μm measurements of ~160 A-type main-sequence stars using the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS). Their ages range from 5 to 850 Myr, based on estimates from the… Expand
New Infrared Emission Features and Spectral Variations in NGC 7023
- M. Werner, K. Uchida, +5 authors J. Stansberry
- Physics
- 11 July 2004
We observed the reflection nebula NGC 7023, with the Short-High module and the long-slit Short-Low and Long-Low modules of the Infrared Spectrograph on the Spitzer Space Telescope. We also present… Expand
Debris Disks around Sun-like Stars
- D. Trilling, G. Bryden, +7 authors E. Haller
- Physics
- 29 October 2007
We have observed nearly 200 FGK stars at 24 and 70 ?m with the Spitzer Space Telescope. We identify excess infrared emission, including a number of cases where the observed flux is more than 10 times… Expand
High albedos of low inclination Classical Kuiper belt objects
- M. Brucker, W. Grundy, +4 authors M. Buie
- Physics
- 22 December 2008
Abstract We present observations of thermal emission from fifteen transneptunian objects (TNOs) made using the Spitzer Space Telescope . Thirteen of the targets are members of the Classical… Expand
Absolute Calibration and Characterization of the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer. III. An Asteroid‐based Calibration of MIPS at 160 μm
- J. Stansberry, K. Gordon, +15 authors E. Haller
- Physics
- 16 July 2007
We describe the absolute calibration of the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) 160 μm channel. After the on‐orbit discovery of a near‐IR ghost image that dominates the signal for sources… Expand
The Vega debris disk: A surprise from spitzer
We present high spatial resolution mid- and far-infrared images of the Vega debris disk obtained with the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS). The disk is well resolved, and its angular… Expand
Surface compositions across Pluto and Charon
New Horizons unveils the Pluto system In July 2015, the New Horizons spacecraft flew through the Pluto system at high speed, humanity's first close look at this enigmatic system on the outskirts of… Expand
