Below is a list of selected publications by SPHEREx team members.
-
March 2022 - Sindiy, Rice, & Mihaly, The Mission System Architecture for Planned SPHEREx Operations, 2022 IEEE Aerospace Conference, Big Sky, MT, 6-11 March 2022
-
September 2021 - Chen & Chang 2021 describes how the extragalactic background light (EBL) as measured by SPHEREx can be cross-correlated with maps with galaxies of known redshif. This will allow the detection of the near-infrared EBL spectrum clustering signal out to z∼6 and the small-scale cross-power spectrum out to z∼10
-
February 2021 - Symons et al., 2021 introduce a method of PSF reconstruction where point sources are artificially sampled beyond the native resolution of an image and combined together via stacking to return a finely sampled estimate of the PSF. This method satisfies the <1% photometric error requirement of the upcoming SPHEREx mission to assess performance in a concrete example

December 2020, Crill et al., SPHEREx: NASA's near-infrared spectrophotometric all-sky survey, Proc. SPIE 11443, Space Telescopes and Instrumentation 2020: Optical, Infrared, and Millimeter Wave, 114430I
-
May 2018 - Doré et al., 2018 report the findings of the 2nd SPHEREx community workshop, which was held in Cambridge in January 2018. This second workshop emphasized the many scientific synergies between SPHEREx and other missions, both ground- and space-based. These synergies, and ways in which the SPHEREx mission will enable them, are described in Doré et al.

January 2018 - The SPHEREx team described the mission and its science program in eight presentations at the winter meeting of the AAS:
- June 2016 - A wide range of science opportunities enabled for the community by SPHEREx are described in the white paper resulting from February's workshop: see Doré et al., 2016. The science topics are wide-ranging, and include extragalactic, galactic, and solar system investigations
- June 2016 - The ability of SPHEREx to measure very accurate redshifts is described in detail in a new paper from the SPHEREx team. See Stickley et al., 2016
- June 2016 - The SPHEREx sampling algorithm is described in a paper recently accepted by the Journal of Astronomical Instrumentation. See Zemcov et al., 2016 for more
- The detector sampling algorithm to be implemented by SPHEREx has now been described in detail by Zemcov et al., 2016, now accepted by JAI!
- January 2016 - The SPHEREx team described the updated mission concept in six presentations at the Kissimmee AAS meeting:
- September 2015 - K. Mitchell-Wynne et al., Ultraviolet luminosity density of the universe during the epoch of reionization, Nature Communications, 6, 7945. An analysis of fluctuations on arcminute scales in deep HST/ACS and WFC3 mosaics, extending the technique to shorter wavelengths than previously explored at these depths. Presents new predictions for the strength of the signal from galaxies at redshifts beyond z=8
- July 2015 - S. Spangelo, R. Katti, S. Unwin, J. Bock, "All Sky Survey Mission Observing Scenario Strategy", Journal of Astronomical Telescopes, Instruments, and Systems, 1, 3, 37. A detailed discussion of a general observing strategy for an all-sky survey, including spacecraft and instrument optimization, constraints, and a scheduling algorithm. This strategy will be used by the SPHEREx mission to achieve its all-sky and and deep-sky surveys
- December 2014 - O. Doré et al.,"SPHEREx: An All-Sky Spectral Survey", http://arxiv.org/abs/1412.4872. A summary of the SPHEREx mission, including mission overview, instrument parameters, survey motivations, simulation pipeline, construction of galaxy catalog, systematics, and the SPHEREx legacy
