Descripción
SPIRE, the Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver, is a submillimetre
camera and spectrometer for Herschel. It comprises a three-band camera
operating at 250, 350 and 500 µm, and an imaging Fourier Transform
Spectrometer covering 194-672 μm. The photometer field of view is 4x8
arcmin., viewed simultaneously in the three bands. The FTS has an
approximately circular field of view of 2.6 arcmin. diameter and
spectral resolution adjustable between 0.04 and 2 cm-1 (
λ/▵λ=20-1000 at 250 μm). Following successful
testing in a dedicated facility designed to simulate the in-flight
operational conditions, SPIRE has been integrated in the Herschel
spacecraft and is now undergoing system-level testing prior to launch.
The main design features of SPIRE are reviewed, the key results of
instrument testing are outlined, and a summary of the predicted
in-flight performance is given.
