Comparing the Near-infrared Spectral Energy Distributions from Different Stellar Population Synthesis Models with SPHEREx Observations
Jeong Hwan Lee, Minjin Kim, Woong-Seob Jeong +16
While stellar population synthesis (SPS) models have been widely used for spectral analysis in optical wavelengths, their characteristics remain uncertain in the near-infrared (NIR…
A UV-to-Near-infrared QSO Composite Spectrum from the SPHEREx All-Sky Survey
Minjin Kim, Yongjung Kim, Woong-Seob Jeong +19
We present a composite spectrum of type 1 SDSS QSOs (median ), constructed using SPHEREx spectrophotometric data and covering a rest-frame wavelength…
The SPHEREx Image and Spectrophotometry Processing Pipeline
Rachel Akeson, Gregory P. Dubois-Felsmann, Brendan P. Crill +41
In this paper, we describe the SPHEREx image and spectrophotometry data processing pipeline, an infrastructure and software system designed to produce calibrated spectral images an…
The SPHEREx View of Galaxy Clusters: A Simulation-based Validation of the Forced Photometry Pipeline for Extended Sources
Hyeonguk Bahk, Ho Seong Hwang, Lindsey Bleem +12
We present a simulation-driven assessment of the performance of the SPHEREx pipeline for galaxy cluster science, focusing on photometry, source blending, survey depth, and photomet…
SPHEREx mapping of diffuse PAH and H II emission in the Galactic plane
Giulia Murgia, Ari J. Cukierman, Brandon S. Hensley +29
We present preliminary SPHEREx maps of diffuse Galactic emission tracing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and ionized hydrogen gas, and we study their relationship across th…
A Catalog of Mid-infrared Variable Sources in the Ecliptic Poles
Minjin Kim, Suyeon Son, Shinyu Kim +4
We construct a catalog of mid-infrared (MIR) variable sources using the multi-epoch 3.6 (W1) and 4.5 m (W2) dataset from the Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explor…
