Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE) is one of three scientific instruments onboard the European Space Agency's Herschel Space Observatory launched on 14 May 2009. SPIRE achieves imaging spectroscopy by use of an imaging Fourier transform spectrometer of the Mach-Zehnder design. Results from the in flight performance verification phase of the SPIRE spectrometer are presented and conformance with the instrument design specifications is reviewed.
