Report on Operations of the Air Force Geophysics Laboratory Infrared Array Spectrometer

Abstract

We describe the Geophysics Laboratory Infrared Array Spectrometer, a long-slit spectrometer configured for astronomical observations at wavelengths of 7 to 14 microns. We present the history of the instrument's development and use at the Wyoming Infrared Observatory, discuss some of the problems faced, and describe the resultant scientific publications. The appendices to this report contain several of the more important scientific publications.
