Description |
The SPHEREx List of Ice Sources is a compilation of nearly nine million spatially isolated, IR-bright point sources likely to exhibit ice absorption features when observed by NASA’s upcoming SPHEREx mission. Because of its well-defined and broad-based selection, based on bright all-sky broadband photometry, SPLICES targets are accessible to observatories all over the Earth for followup to characterize e.g., YSOs, protoplanetary disks, and other identified objects (variable sources, carbon stars) in concert with the upcoming multi-epoch SPHEREx 0.75-5.0 μm spectrophotometry.
This dataset or service is made available by the Infrared Science Archive (IRSA) at IPAC, which is operated by the California Institute of Technology under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. |
