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…
SPHEREx Pre-Perihelion Mapping of , , and in Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS
Carey M. Lisse, Yoonsoo P. Bach, Brendan P. Crill +35
From 01- to 15-Aug-2025UT, the SPHEREx spacecraft observed interstellar object 3I/ATLAS. Using spectrophotometry at m, light curves, spectra, and imaging of…
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…
The Cosmic Infrared Background Experiment-2: An Intensity Mapping Optimized Sounding-rocket Payload to Understand the Near-IR Extragalactic Background Light
Michael Zemcov, James J. Bock, Asantha Cooray +37
The background light produced by emission from all sources over cosmic history is a powerful diagnostic of structure formation and evolution. At near-infrared wavelengths, this ext…
Optimized Observation Sequencing in Low-Earth Orbit with the SPHEREx Survey Planning Software
Sean Bryan, James Bock, Thomas Burk +23
SPHEREx is a NASA infrared astronomy mission that launched on March 12th, 2025 and is operating successfully in low-Earth orbit (LEO). The mission is currently observing the entire…
SPHEREx Discovery of Strong Water Ice Absorption and an Extended Carbon Dioxide Coma in 3I/ATLAS
C. M. Lisse, Y. P. Bach, S. Bryan +17
In mid-August 2025, 0.75-5.0 micron SPHEREx imaging spectrophotometric and ancillary NASA-IRTF SpeX 0.7-2.5 micron low-resolution spectral observations of Interstellar Object 3I AT…
The SPHEREx Sky Simulator: Science Data Modeling for the First All-Sky Near-Infrared Spectral Survey
Brendan P. Crill, Yoonsoo P. Bach, Sean A. Bryan +29
We describe the SPHEREx Sky Simulator, a software tool designed to model science data for NASA's SPHEREx mission that will carry out a series of all-sky spectrophotometric surveys…
CIBER 4th flight fluctuation analysis: Measurements of near-IR auto- and cross-power spectra on arcminute to sub-degree scales
Richard M. Feder, James J. Bock, Yun-Ting Cheng +10
We present new anisotropy measurements in the near-infrared (NIR) for angular multipoles using imaging data at 1.1 m and 1.8 m from the fourth flight of the C…
CIBER 4th flight fluctuation analysis: Pseudo-power spectrum formalism, improved source masking and validation on mocks
Richard M. Feder, James J. Bock, Yun-Ting Cheng +7
Precise, unbiased measurements of extragalactic background anisotropies require careful treatment of systematic effects in fluctuation-based, broad-band intensity mapping measureme…
