Predictions for Cosmological Infrared Surveys from Space with the Multiband Imaging Photometer for SIRTF (MIPS)
We make predictions for the cosmological surveys to be conducted by the Multiband Imaging Photometer for SIRTF (MIPS) at 24, 70 and 160 microns, for the guaranteed time observations and the legacy programs, using the latest knowledge of the instrument. In addition to the detector noise and the cirrus confusion noise, we discuss in detail the derivation of the confusion noise due to extragalacti...
متن کاملPower Spectrum Analysis of Far-IR Background Fluctuations in 160 μm Maps From the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer
We describe data reduction and analysis of fluctuations in the cosmic far-IR background (CFIB) in observations with the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) instrument 160 μm detectors. We analyzed observations of an 8.5 square degree region in the Lockman Hole, part of the largest low-cirrus mapping observation with this instrument. We measured the power spectrum of the CFIB in thes...
متن کاملMultiband Polarization Imaging
Multiband polarization imaging is an emerging sensing method that enables simultaneous acquisition of multiband spectral and multiangle polarization information of an object of interest in the scene. Spectral signatures of the light reflected from a target reveal the characteristics of the material composing the target while polarized light provides useful information on the surface features su...
متن کاملABSOLUTE CALIBRATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE MULTIBAND IMAGING PHOTOMETER FOR SPITZER. I. THE STELLAR CALIBRATOR SAMPLE AND THE 24 μm CALIBRATION
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 are A stars, and the calibration factor based on those stars is 4.54× 10 MJy sr (DN/s), with a nominal uncertainty of 2%. We discuss the data-reduction procedures required to attain this accuracy; wi...
متن کاملPuzzle Imaging: Using Large-Scale Dimensionality Reduction Algorithms for Localization
Current high-resolution imaging techniques require an intact sample that preserves spatial relationships. We here present a novel approach, "puzzle imaging," that allows imaging a spatially scrambled sample. This technique takes many spatially disordered samples, and then pieces them back together using local properties embedded within the sample. We show that puzzle imaging can efficiently pro...
