arXiv:astro-ph/0407151 · doi:10.1117/12.550744
Abstract
The Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) is one of three focal plane instruments on board the Spitzer Space Telescope. IRAC is a four-channel camera that obtains simultaneous broad-band images at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 microns in two nearly adjacent fields of view. We summarize here the in-flight scientific, technical, and operational performance of IRAC.
