Bandmerging SIRTF Point Sources
نویسنده
چکیده
1.1.3.) Produce a statistical summary that includes: (a.) counters for the spectral combinations produced, binned by brightest-band magnitude; (b.) mean position offsets and variances on both position axes for all band-pair combinations; (c.) chi-square values for all band-pair position discrepancies, binned by brightest-band magnitude. Items (b.) and (c.) will use only bandmerged sources with at least one detection whose S/N is above 10 and containing at least a user-specifiable minimum number of bands merged (to reduce contamination of the statistics by false merges).

From Molecular Cores to Planet-forming Disks with SIRTF
The SIRTF mission and the Legacy programs will provide coherent data bases for extra-galactic and Galactic science that will rapidly become available to researchers through a public archive. The capabilities of SIRTF and the six legacy programs are described briefly. Then the cores to disks (c2d) program is described in more detail. The c2d program will use all three SIRTF instruments (IRAC, MI...
متن کاملExtragalactic Spectroscopy with SIRTF/IRS
The Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) is one of the three instruments on board the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) to be launched in December 2001. The IRS will provide high resolution spectra (R≈600) from 10–37 μm and low resolution spectra (R≥60) from 5–40 μm. Its high sensitivity and “spectral mapping”-mode make it a powerful instrument for observing both faint point-like and extended so...
متن کاملSIRTF Background Estimation: Methods and implementation
In order to plan observing and calibration programs with SIRTF, one of the important ingredients is the absolute brightness of the sky at the time and place of observation. In particular, to judge the feasibility of detection of astronomical sources in the presence of strong foreground signals from the zodiacal light and interstellar cirrus, observers and the science team will require knowledge...
متن کاملComparing Chandra and Sirtf Observations for Obscured Starbursts and Agn at High Redshift
Tracking the star formation rate to high redshifts requires knowledge of the contribution from both optically visible and obscured sources. The dusty, optically-obscured galaxies can be located by X-ray and infrared surveys. To establish criteria for selecting such sources based only on X-ray and infrared surveys, we determine the ratio of infrared to X-ray brightness that would be observed by ...

The SIRTF Wide-area Infrared Extragalactic (SWIRE) survey is a Legacy Program using 851 hours of SIRTF observing time to conduct a set of large-area (∼ 67 square degrees split into 7 fields) high Galactic latitude imaging surveys, achieving 5-sigma sensitivities of 0.45/2.75/17.5 mJy at 24/70/160 μm with MIPS and of 7.3/9.7/27.5/32.5 μJy at 3.6/4.5/5.8/8.0 μm with IRAC. These data will yield hi...
