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…
SPHEREx Pre-Perihelion Mapping of , , and in Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS
Carey M. Lisse, Yoonsoo P. Bach, Brendan P. Crill +35
From 01- to 15-Aug-2025UT, the SPHEREx spacecraft observed interstellar object 3I/ATLAS. Using spectrophotometry at m, light curves, spectra, and imaging…
The SPHEREx Satellite Mission
James J. Bock, Asad M. Aboobaker, Joseph Adamo +111
SPHEREx, a NASA explorer satellite launched on 11 March 2025, is carrying out the first all-sky near-infrared spectral survey. The satellite observes in 102 spectral bands from 0.7…
Simulating Spectral Confusion in SPHEREx Photometry and Redshifts
Zhaoyu Huai, James J. Bock, Yun-Ting Cheng +12
We model the impact of source confusion on photometry and the resulting spectrophotometric redshifts for SPHEREx, a NASA Medium-Class Explorer that is carrying out an all-sky near-…
The SPHEREx Sky Simulator: Science Data Modeling for the First All-Sky Near-Infrared Spectral Survey
Brendan P. Crill, Yoonsoo P. Bach, Sean A. Bryan +29
We describe the SPHEREx Sky Simulator, a software tool designed to model science data for NASA's SPHEREx mission that will carry out a series of all-sky spectrophotometric surveys…
