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…

Image persistence flagging for SPHEREx

Candice Fazar, C. Darren Dowell, Brendan P. Crill +3

Image persistence in HAWAII-2RG HgCdTe detectors has been observed by multiple parties. Also known as latent signal, this effect occurs when sensor images following an illumination…

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…

Cryogenic Focus Measurement System for a Wide-Field Infrared Space Telescope

Samuel S. Condon, Stephen Padin, James Bock +4

We describe a technique for measuring focus errors in a cryogenic, wide-field, near-infrared space telescope. The measurements are made with a collimator looking through a large va…

Noise Reduction Methods for Large-scale Intensity-mapping Measurements with Infrared Detector Arrays

Grigory Heaton, Walter Cook, James Bock +10

Intensity mapping observations measure galaxy clustering fluctuations from spectral-spatial maps, requiring stable noise properties on large angular scales. We have developed speci…
