A bestiary of low-level electrical artifacts in SPHEREx flight data
Candice M. Fazar, Michael Zemcov, C. Darren Dowell +3
SPHEREx, NASA's all-sky spectrophotometric survey mission, maps the sky in 102 spectral channels from 0.75 um to 5.0 um at 6.15'' resolution from low-Earth orbit using a custom rea…
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…
Tracing the Boundary of the South Atlantic Anomaly Region with SPHEREx Transient Flagging Rates
Chi H. Nguyen, James Bock, Sean Bryan +10
The NASA SPHEREx satellite was launched in 03/2025 to survey the full sky between 0.75 - 5.0 um. The image processing of SPHEREx H2RG detectors includes real-time flagging of trans…
SPHEREx 0.75 to 5 m Spectra for a Sequence of Nearby Brown Dwarfs
Zafar Rustamkulov, J. Kirkpatrick, Rachel Akeson +21
The SPHEREx all-sky survey has now measured the R40-100 infrared spectra of thousands of nearby brown dwarfs in the chemically rich 0.75-5 m range. The survey's wide spec…
