Scientific Potential of the Multiband Imaging Photometer for SIRTF (MIPS) G. H. Rieke, E. T. Young, T. N. Gautier, G. Rivlis The MIPS uses arrays of impurity band conduction Si:As, Ge:Ga, and stressed Ge:Ga to provide three spectral bands for imaging and efficient mapping at 24, 70, and 160 microns respectively. In addition, a spectrometer allows the instrument to measure spectral energy distributions between 50 and 100 microns at a resolution of about 5%. We discuss the observing modes for MIPS and the expected performance, including estimates of the effects of source confusion and ionizing particle hits. We show that the instrument will be able: 1.) to make deep far infrared maps of the sky to search for highly redshifted ultraluminous galaxies; 2.) to resolve debris systems around nearby stars, including systems on a scale similar to the Kuiper Belt; and 3.) to conduct a broad variety of additional scientific investigations.
