IRTS MIRS Point Source Catalogue

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

IThe Japanese satellite-borne infrared telescope, the Infrared Telescope in Space (IRTS), surveyed about 7 per-cent of the entire sky in the infrared wavelengths from 1.4 to 700 um.

Description

The IRTS consists of a 15 cm telescope cooled with superfluid liquid helium, and is installed on board the Space Flyer Unit (SFU) spacecraft. The SFU was launched on 1995 March 18 UT.

The sky survey by the IRTS started on March 29 UT, and was completed on April 25 UT after exhausting its liquid helium. The four focal-plane instruments were on board. The Mid-Infrared Spectrometer (MIRS) covered 4.5 to 11.7 um by 32 spectral channels with the resolution of Δλ = 0.23-0.36 um.

The MIRS point source catalog contains spectra of 536 sources. Many of the detected sources are mas-losing stars. A few HII regions and one asteroid 01 Ceres are included.
