Scientific paper

The Spitzer Space Telescope (formerly SIRTF) is a NASA Great Observatory that was launched in August 2003. It has three science instruments: (1) the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC), which images at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8 microns; (2) the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS), with resolutions of 60 and 600 from 5 to 38 microns; and (3) the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS), which images at 24, 70, and 160 microns. Observations in the mid-infrared can provide complementary and synergistic information in the study of objects and processes traditionally regarded as "high energy." For example, gamma ray burst afterglows, cool outer regions of accretion disks, jet emission in X-ray binaries, active galactic nuclei, and so on. The next call for proposals for Spitzer (GO Cycle-2) will be issued in November 2004, with proposals due in February 2005. This poster provides an overview of the steps in planning Spitzer observations.
