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…
Euclid preparation. Refining input galaxy shape distributions for shear calibration simulations
Euclid Collaboration, H. Jansen, N. Martinet +282
The Euclid Wide Survey (EWS) will cover the majority of the extragalactic sky with a resolution similar to the Hubble Space Telescope. This unprecedented data set will introduce a…
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…
The SPHEREx Instrument: Calibration, testing and performance measurements of the NIR 2 spectroscopic surveyor from the laboratory to in-orbit commissioning
Phil M. Korngut, James J. Bock, Samuel Condon +90
The SPHEREx near-infrared space telescope is an all-sky spectroscopic survey mission launched on March 12th, 2025 UTC. In addition to providing the community with a spectral databa…
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…
Vz-GAL: Probing Cold Molecular Gas in Dusty Star-forming Galaxies at z=1-6
Prachi Prajapati, Dominik Riechers, Pierre Cox +20
We present the first results of Vz-GAL, a high-redshift CO(J=1-0) large survey with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, targeting 92 Herschel-selected, infrared-luminous, dusty st…
