The Far-Infrared Surveyor (FIS) for AKARI
Mitsunobu Kawada, Hajime Baba, Peter D. Barthel +57
The Far-Infrared Surveyor (FIS) is one of two focal plane instruments on the AKARI satellite. FIS has four photometric bands at 65, 90, 140, and 160 um, and uses two kinds of array…
The Infrared Astronomical Mission AKARI
H. Murakami, H. Baba, P. Barthel +90
AKARI, the first Japanese satellite dedicated to infrared astronomy, was launched on 2006 February 21, and started observations in May of the same year. AKARI has a 68.5 cm cooled…
The Cosmic Infrared Background Experiment
James Bock, John Battle, Asantha Cooray +12
We are developing a rocket-borne instrument (the Cosmic Infrared Background ExpeRiment, or CIBER) to search for signatures of primordial galaxy formation in the cosmic near-infrare…
Cryogenic Capacitive Transimpedance Amplifier for Astronomical Infrared Detectors
Hirohisa Nagata, Hiroshi Shibai, Takanori Hirao +5
We have developed a new capacitive transimpedance amplifier (CTIA) that can be operated at 2 K, and have good performance as readout circuits of astronomical far-infrared array det…
Meausurement of Sky Suface Brightness Fluctuations at lambda = 4 micron
J. Xu, J. J. Bock, K. M. Ganga +6
We present a Monte-Carlo technique to probe the cosmic Infrared background radiation (CIB) with faint source confusion in deep, wide-field 4 micron images. We report a detection of…
A Search for Near-Infrared Emission From the Halo of NGC 5907 at Radii of 10 kpc to 30 kpc
S. A. Yost, J. J. Bock, M. Kawada +5
We present a search for near-infrared (3.5-5 micron) emission from baryonic dark matter in the form of low-mass stars and/or brown dwarfs in the halo of the nearby edge-on spiral g…
