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 is also used to observe distant, red-shifted galaxies that were formed much earlier in the history of the universe.

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 ( 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.

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

Infrared Data Association ( IrDA ) uses infrared light, which has a frequency below the human eye's sensitivity.

Since 2003, Bahrain has been granted over $ 100 million in Foreign Military Funding to pay for various high profile weapons systems, to include an AN / TPS-59 ( v ) 3B Early Warning Radar, Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures ( LAIRCM ), Air-to-Air Missile Avoidance System for the King's Plane ( Boeing 747-400 ), as well as an Avenger Air Defense Vehicle.

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 observation has shown there are no bodies of three or more Jupiter masses in this system.

Efke's Infrared Film, sold under the brand name Efke IR820 is currently the only infrared film manufactured that has good IR sensitivity beyond 750nm extending out to 820nm.

However, a new system called Airborne Volcanic Object Infrared Detector ( AVOID ) has recently been developed by Nicarnica Aviation, a daughter company of the Norwegian Institute for Air Research, which will allow pilots to detect ash plumes up to 100 km ( 62 mi ) ahead and fly safely around them.

Infrared observations of the star using an adaptive optics system on the Very Large Telescope show that Achernar has a companion star in a close orbit.

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 ).

* Radar / Infrared / Laser: This form of navigation provides information to guidance relative to a known target, it has both civilian ( ex rendezvous ) and military applications.

Since then Majik has released tracks on the Mo ' Wax label, and now runs his own label, Infrared.

" Infrared grade " fused quartz ( tradenames " Infrasil ", " Vitreosil IR " and others ) which is electrically fused, has a greater presence of metallic impurities, limiting its UV transmittance wavelength to around 250 nm, but a much lower water content, leading to excellent infrared transmission up to 3. 6 μm wavelength.

Infrared microspectroscopy has identified conifers of the family Sciadopityaceae as the principal source of Baltic amber rather than as previously thought members of the families Araucariaceae and Pinaceae.

Unlike NMR, Infrared and UV-Visible spectroscopies, microwave spectroscopy has not yet found widespread application in analytical chemistry.

It has been succeeded by a Boeing 747-based airborne observatory equipped with a larger aperture telescope, the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy ( SOFIA ).

However, SPICAV has an additional channel known as SOIR ( Solar Occultation at Infrared ) that will be used to observe the Sun through Venus's atmosphere in the infrared.

The pod is limited in being primarily a daylight / clear-weather system, and is being slowly replaced by the more capable Thomson-CSF PDLCT (" Pod de Designation Laser a Camera Thermique " / Laser Designation Pod with Infrared Camera ") and Thales Damocles, which has a FLIR.

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.

In recent years, the company has expanded the Smartset line adding models with features including a time projector, Infrared touchless snooze control, CD-R / CD-RW, and an integrated " Made for iPod " top-mounting docking station.

Infrared has significant limitations ; one being that it is line of sight only ; there had to be a clear space between the IR port and the controller.
