The Spitzer Science Center ( SSC ), part of the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center located on the Caltech campus, is the data analysis and community support center for NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope.

Infrared radiation in the spectral distribution of a black body is usually considered a form of heat, since it has an equivalent temperature, and is associated with an entropy change per unit of thermal energy.

Infrared radiation is absorbed by greenhouse gases, which in turn re-radiate much of the energy to the surface and lower atmosphere.

Infrared ( IR ) light is electromagnetic radiation with longer wavelengths than those of visible light, extending from the nominal red edge of the visible spectrum at 0. 74 micrometres ( µm ) to 300 µm.

Infrared light is emitted or absorbed by molecules when they change their rotational-vibrational movements.

Infrared light is used in industrial, scientific, and medical applications.

Infrared spectroscopy ( IR spectroscopy ) is the spectroscopy that deals with the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, that is light with a longer wavelength and lower frequency than visible light.

Infrared in general is used, for instance, in TV remotes.

Infrared technology is low-cost and has the advantage of being allowed aboard.

Infrared ( IR ) light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength between 0. 7 and 300 micrometers, which equates to a frequency range between approximately 1 and 430 THz.

Infrared or red radiation from a common household radiator or electric heater is an example of thermal radiation, as is the heat and light ( IR and visible EM waves ) emitted by a glowing incandescent light bulb.

The high data speeds of UMTS are now most often utilised for Internet access: experience in Japan and elsewhere has shown that user demand for video calls is not high, and telco-provided audio / video content has declined in popularity in favour of high-speed access to the World Wide Web — either directly on a handset or connected to a computer via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Infrared or USB.

Infrared light is strongly absorbed by the hydrogen-oxygen or OH bonds.

The organisation is mission center for several key current missions ( Kepler Mission, the Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite ( LCROSS ) mission, Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy ( SOFIA )) and a major contributor to the '" new exploration focus '" as a participant in the Orion crew exploration vehicle and Ares I crew launch vehicle projects.

Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy ( SOFIA ) is a joint venture of the U. S. and German aerospace agencies, NASA and the DLR to make an infrared telescope platform that can fly at altitudes high enough to be in the infrared-transparent regime above the water vapor in the Earth's atmosphere.

Infrared astronomy is the branch of astronomy and astrophysics that studies astronomical objects visible in infrared ( IR ) radiation.

Infrared light is absorbed at many wavelengths by water vapor in the Earth's atmosphere, so most infrared telescopes are at high elevations in dry places, above as much of the atmosphere as possible.

The Kuiper Airborne Observatory and the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy use airplanes to observe in the infrared, which is absorbed by water vapor in the atmosphere.

This dependence on the polarizability differs from Infrared spectroscopy where the interaction between the molecule and light is determined by the dipole moment ; this contrasting feature allows to analyze transitions that might not be IR active via Raman spectroscopy, as exemplified by the rule of mutual exclusion in centrosymmetric molecules.

Infrared Data Association ( IrDA ) technology is a very simple form of free-space optical communications.

The Infrared Data Association ( IrDA ) is an industry driven interest group that was founded in 1993 by around 50 companies.

The Spacelab Infrared Telescope ( IRT ) was also flown on the mission.

* Many other forms of spectroscopy also rely upon Fourier Transforms to determine the three-dimensional structure and / or identity of the sample being analyzed, including Infrared and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopies.

Infrared LEDs are also used in the remote control units of many commercial products including televisions, DVD players, and other domestic appliances.

Infrared and ultraviolet are also greatly blocked.

Infrared astronomy has also revealed that the interstellar medium contains a suite of complex gas-phase carbon compounds called polyaromatic hydrocarbons, often abbreviated PAHs or PACs.

Infrared astronomy has also been used to assess the composition of solid materials in the interstellar medium, including silicates, kerogen-like carbon-rich solids, and ices.

Infrared receivers also tend to have a more or less limited operating angle, which mainly depends on the optical characteristics of the phototransistor.

Here is the UKIRT ( then called Infrared Flux Collector ) compared to the other largest optical telescopes circa 1978, only a some of these could also see in the near infrared.

It is maintained by the Infrared Data Association but has also been adopted by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group and the SyncML wing of the Open Mobile Alliance ( OMA ).

He also makes music under the names Innervisions and Infrared.

The crew also deployed and retrieved the SPAS-II which carried the Infrared Background Signature Survey ( IBSS ) experiment.

Hornsby also co-performed the improvisation " Silver Apples of the Moon " for the Grateful Dead's Infrared Roses.

In addition to the main optical payload SEVIRI ( Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager ), Meteosat-8 also carries the secondary payload GERB ( Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget ) instrument.

Infrared ( IR ) imaging may also be used to penetrate haze over long distances, with a combination of IR-pass optical filters ( such as the Wratten 89B ) and IR-sensitive detector.

Infrared seeker was developed by TsKB-589 GKOT ( currently TsKB Geofizika ), who also developed seeker for 9M31 missile of 9K31 Strela-1.

Infrared communication ports, like the ones found on laptop computers ( such as IrDA ), can also be used.

Sugars also have known infrared absorption spectra and this has made it possible to develop instruments for measuring sugar concentration using NIR ( Near Infra Red ) and FT-IR ( Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry ) techniques.

The Infrared Optical Telescope Array ( IOTA ) began with an agreement in 1988 among five Institutions, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, Harvard University, the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the University of Wyoming, and MIT / Lincoln Laboratory, to build a two-telescope stellar interferometer for the purpose of making fundamental astrophysical observations, and also as a prototype instrument on which we could perfect techniques which could later lead to the development of a larger, more powerful array.

The DDM-NG also offers improved rejection of false alarms and gives an angular localisation capability which will be compatible with the future use of Directional Infrared Counter Measures ( DIRCM ).

Operators can also use a variety of camera systems such as CCTV systems, or the high tech military version, called the Wide-Area Infrared Surveillance Thermal Imager or WISTI.

Diffusive Optical Imaging ( DOI ) also known as Near Infrared Optical tomography ( NIROT ) or Diffuse Optical Tomography ( DOT ) is a technique that gives neuroscientists the ability to simultaneously obtain information about the source of neural activity as well as its time course.

The phone can also be used as a modem via Bluetooth, Infrared or USB.

While most of the TerraServer imagery is focused on high resolution, color, satellite and aerial imagery, TerraServer. com also offers Color Infrared Imagery, Panchromatic Imagery, Low Resolution Satellite Imagery, and Topographic Maps.
