A Uniform Database of 2.4–45.4 Micron Spectra from the Infrared Space Observatory Short Wavelength Spectrometer

Abstract

We present a complete set of all valid SWS full-scan 2.4-45.4 mum spectra processed and renormalized in as uniform a manner as possible. The processing produces a single spectrum for each observation from the 288 individual spectral segments, which are the most processed form available from the ISO archive. The spectra, and the programs used to create them, are available to the community on-line. Based on observations with the Infrared Space Observatory, a European Space Agency (ESA) project with instruments funded by ESA Member States (especially the Principal Investigator countries: France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom) and with the participation of the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
