IRTF Archive

The NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) is a 3.2 meter telescope, optimized for infrared observations, and located at the summit of Mauna Kea, Hawai'i. Observing time is open to the entire astronomical community, and 50% of the NASA IRTF observing time is reserved for studies of Solar System objects. The first 2 instruments that are included in the NASA IRTF Archive are SpeX Spectrograph and Guider (a medium-resolution 0.7-5.3 micron spectrograph) and iSHELL Spectrograph and Guider/Imager (a high-resolution 1.1-5.3 micron spectrograph). The last is TEXES Spectrograph, a spectrograph with 3 resolutions: high (R~100,000), medium (R~15,000), and low (R~3,000). The NASA IRTF Archive includes public data. Investigators have a 18 month proprietary period; data are publicly available in the archive after that.

This dataset or service is made available by the Infrared Science Archive (IRSA) at IPAC, which is operated by the California Institute of Technology under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
