IRSA will provide a dedicated interface for SPHEREx data, which will include standard search, retrieval, and visualization capabilities. In addition, IRSA will host SPHEREx-specific search, retrieval and analysis tools. Some of these tools will be available via IRSA’s web interface allowing integration with all other products served by IRSA. Availability at IRSA is based on the May 1, 2025 start of the science survey. These tools are:
Spectrophotometry Tool: creates spectra at a user-specified position using the same algorithm as the pipeline.
LVF Image Cutout Tool: allows users to make cutouts, without resampling, from LVF spectral images.
Custom Mosaic Tool: creates cube or single FITS image, with user-specified output bands.
