Using the Low Resolution Spectrograph (LRS) onboard the InfraRed Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) a very large data base of 8-24μm spectra has been obtained for a large variety of sources. Over the 10 years since the IRAS mission, some of this data has been analysed for the investigation of a series of astrophysical problems. Especially interesting results were obtained in the study of the properties of M-Mira stars and carbon stars. Also, research into Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) was significantly aided by the availability of the large LRS database. The database yielded several spectra with previously unobserved infrared emission and absorption features (e.g. H2O and CO2 in AFGL 961). Recently spectra of non-stationary objects like comets have come under investigation. With the analysis, the understanding of the properties of the instrument and its calibration has also grown considerably.
