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 spect…

Observations of Atmospheric Helium and Oxygen with SPHEREx

Howard Hui, Chi Nguyen, Ryan Wills +20

We present measurements of near-infrared (NIR) terrestrial airglow produced by helium and oxygen in the exosphere as observed by SPHEREx. Using eight months of survey data obtained…

SPHEREx Wide-Field Infrared Spectral Mapping of Interstellar Ices and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Joseph L. Hora, Jinyoung K. Noh, Gary J. Melnick +32

We present some of the first infrared spectral maps acquired by SPHEREx. These maps, which to our knowledge are the largest of their type ever compiled in the near-infrared, reveal…

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…

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…

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…
