MIPS - The Multiband Imaging Photometer for SIRTF

The Multiband Imaging Photometer for SIRTF (MIPS) is to be designed to reach as closely as possible the fundamental sensitivity and angular resolution limits for SIRTF over the 3 to 700 micron spectral region. It will use high performance photoconductive detectors from 3 to 200 micron with integrating JFET amplifiers. From 200 to 700 microns, the MIPS will use a bolometer cooled by an adiabatic demagnetization refrigerator. Over much of its operating range, the MIPS will make possible observations at and beyond the conventional Rayleigh diffraction limit of angular resolution.

A single-star interpretation of Nova Cygni 1975

Observational evidence has revealed that Nova Cygni 1975 is not a typical nova event. We suggest that Nova Cygni is to be understood, not in terms of a canonical close binary system, but essentially as a single star undergoing a thin-shell thermonuclear explosion.
