SWIRE: The SIRTF Wide-area InfraRed Extragalactic Survey

Carol J. Lonsdale, Harding E. Smith, Michael Rowan-Robinson +16

The SIRTF Wide-area InfraRed Extragalactic survey (SWIRE), the largest SIRTF Legacy program, is a wide-area, imaging survey to trace the evolution of dusty, star-forming galaxies,…

The Submillimeter Frontier: A Space Science Imperative

John C. Mather, S. Harvey Moseley, David Leisawitz +8

A major goal of modern astrophysics is to understand the processes by which the universe evolved from its initial simplicity, as seen in measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Backgr…

Emission Features and Source Counts of Galaxies in Mid-Infrared

Cong Xu, Perry B. Hacking, Fan Fang +6

In this work we incorporate the newest ISO results on the mid-infrared spectral-energy-distributions (MIR SEDs) of galaxies into models for the number counts and redshift distribut…

The Mid-Infrared Color-Luminosity Relation and the Local 12 micron Luminosity Function

Fan Fang, David L. Shupe, Cong Xu +1

We have established a model to systematically estimate the contribution of the mid-infrared emission features between 3 and 11.6 micron to the IRAS in-band fluxes, using the result…

The Local Luminosity Function at 25 Microns

David L. Shupe, Fan Fang, Perry B. Hacking +1

The local luminosity function at 25 m provides the basis for interpreting the results of deep mid-infrared surveys planned or in progress with space astrophysics missions includ…
