Requirements of IR space astronomy
Abstract
An introduction to a series of infrared detector technology workshops is given. The establishment of goals and new requirements is addressed in a general way. The Shuttle Infrared telescope Facility (SIRIF) goals are listed. Given that the wavelength coverage is established at 2 to 750 microns and the unvignetted field of view is 7 arcmin, the field should be fully utilized at each wavelength, diffraction should be critically sampled, and each detector should be background limited.
