Scientific paper

The conceptual design presented for a low-to-moderate resolution IR spectrometer is expected to allow the spectroscopic study of objects whose location ranges from within the solar system to distant galaxies, with far greater sensitivity than previously available for the study of faint objects. The low resolution mode will allow detailed continuum radiation studies to be conducted, while the moderate resolution mode will facilitate studies encompassing the IR spectral signatures of small outer solar system bodies and the nature of more luminous active galaxies and QSOs at greater distances. The five spectrometer modules share a common aperture, and all gratings share a single scan mechanism. All heat sources other than the detectors operate at 7 K and are separated from the 4 K cold station. Two-dimensional area detector arrays are used in the 2.5- to 120-micron bands to simultaneously monitor adjacent regions in extended objects and to measure the background near point sources.
