The Submillimeter Frontier: A Space Science Imperative
John C. Mather, S. Harvey Moseley, David Leisawitz +8
A major goal of modern astrophysics is to understand the processes by which the universe evolved from its initial simplicity, as seen in measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Backgr…
Calibrator Design for the COBE Far Infrared Absolute Spectrophotometer (FIRAS)
J. C. Mather, D. J. Fixsen, R. A. Shafer +2
The photometric errors of the external calibrator for the FIRAS instrument on the COBE are smaller than the measurement errors on the cosmic microwave background (CMBR) spectrum (t…
Cosmic Ray Rejection and Image Processing Aboard The Next Generation Space Telescope
H. S. Stockman, D. Fixsen, R. Hanisch +5
The NASA Yardstick design for the Integrated Science Instrument Module (ISIM) utilizes 64 1k x 1k InSb imagers. Since multiple readouts per image are required to remove cosmic ray…
The COBE Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment Search for the Cosmic Infrared Background: I. Limits and Detections
M. G. Hauser, R. G. Arendt, T. Kelsall +15
The DIRBE on the COBE spacecraft was designed primarily to conduct systematic search for an isotropic CIB in ten photometric bands from 1.25 to 240 microns. The results of that sea…
The COBE Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment Search for the Cosmic Infrared Background: IV. Cosmological Implications
E. Dwek, R. G. Arendt, M. G. Hauser +11
In this paper we examine the cosmological constraints of the recent DIRBE and FIRAS detection of the extragalactic background light between 125-5000 microns on the metal and star f…
