Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment information


DIRBE instrument lightpath

Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment (DIRBE)[1] was an experiment on NASA's COBE mission,[1] to survey the diffuse infrared sky. Measurements were made with a reflecting telescope with 19 cm diameter aperture.[1] The goal was to obtain brightness maps of the universe at ten frequency bands ranging from the near to far infrared (1.25 to 240 micrometer).[1] Also, linear polarization was measured at 1.25, 2.2, and 3.5 micrometers.[1] During the mission, the instrument could sample half the celestial sphere each day.[1]
