- Description:
- This database will eventually contain all the published infrared lines observed by ISO, the Infrared Space Observatory. At this stage only a few percent of the total content is included but it is increasing steadily. Thus what is presented at this stage is a beta-version of the final product. ISO - the Infrared Space Observatory - was operational during about 28 months, between November 1995 and May 1998, until its cooling fluid (liquid helium) burnt out (Kessler et al. 1996A&A...315L..27K). It was the first far-infrared satellite equipped with two medium and high resolution spectrometers, SWS (Short Wavelength Spectrometer, 2.38-45.2{mu}m, de Graauw et al. 1996A&A...315L..49D) and LWS (Long Wavelength Spectrometer, 43-197{mu}m, Clegg et al. 1996A&A...315L..38C). Both spectrometers could be operated in grating or Fabry-Perot mode. In addition, the two other ISO instruments also provided spectroscopic data: ISOCAM (the ISO Camera, Cesarsky et al. 1996A&A...315L..32C) had a CVF (Circular Variable Filter) mode in 3 bands covering the range 2.3-17.3{mu}m, and ISOPHOT (The Imaging Photo-Polarimeter, Lemke et al. 1996A&A...315L..64L) had a dual grating spectrometer (PHOT-S) with resolving power of order 90 in two bands (2.5-4.9{mu}m and 5.8-11.6{mu}m). Detailed information about ISO and its four ISO instruments can be found in "The ISO Handbook" available on-line at http://www.iso.vilspa.esa.es/ The novelty, the richness and the unicity of the ISO spectroscopic data is what motivated us in compiling this data in a systematic and homogeneous way in order to make it available to the whole astronomical community. No other past, current or foreseen space project will overwrite this data, hence the importance of this compilation. In addition, queries on the database content will be a useful tool for the preparation of follow-up observations with other space, airborne or ground-based observatories such as Herschel, SOFIA, ALMA, VLT and more. In this early version, the database is very incomplete. It contains about 3000 lines which represents only a few percent of the total. Each observed and published ISO spectroscopic line corresponds to a physical line in IASD with up to 39 parameter/information fields. The description of the various columns is given below.

- Description:
- A total of six deep exposures (using the astronomical observation template CAM01 with a 6" pixel field of view) through the ISOCAM LW10 filter (IRAS band 1, i.e., 12{mu}m) were obtained on a ~15' square field centered on the ecliptic plane. Point sources were extracted using the technique described in 1999 by Deert et al. Twoknown asteroids appear in these frames, and 20 sources moving with velocities appropriate for main-belt asteroids are present. Most of the asteroids detected have flux densities less than 1 mJy, that is, between 150 and 350 times fainter than any of the asteroids observed by IRAS. These data provide the first direct measurement of the 12{mu}m sky-plane density for asteroids on the ecliptic equator. The median zodiacal foreground, as measured by ISOCAM during this survey, is found to be 22.1+/-1.5mJy/pixel, i.e. 26.2+/-1.7MJy/sr. The results presented here imply that the actual number of kilometer-sized asteroids may be higher than several recent estimates based upon observations at visual wavelengths and are in reasonable agreement with the statistical asteroid model. Using results from the observations presented here, together with three other recent population estimates, we conclude that the cumulative number of main-belt asteroids with diameters greater than 1km is (1.2+/-0.5)x10^6^.

- O, B and Be stars equivalent widths
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/384/473
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present an atlas of spectra of O- and B-type stars, obtained with the Short Wavelength Spectrometer (SWS) during the Post-Helium program of the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). This program is aimed at extending the Morgan & Keenan (1973ARA&A..11...29M) classification scheme into the near-infrared. Later type stars will be discussed in a separate publication. The observations consist of 57 SWS Post-Helium spectra from 2.4 to 4.1{mu}m, supplemented with 10 spectra acquired during the nominal mission with a similar observational setting. For B-type stars, this sample provides ample spectral coverage in terms of subtype and luminosity class. For O-type stars, the ISO sample is coarse and therefore is complemented with 8 UKIRT L'-band observations. In terms of the presence of diagnostic lines, the L'-band is likely the most promising of the near-infrared atmospheric windows for the study of the physical properties of B stars. Specifically, this wavelength interval contains the Br{alpha}, Pf{gamma}, and other Pfund lines which are probes of spectral type, luminosity class and mass loss. Here, we present simple empirical methods based on the lines present in the 2.4 to 4.1{mu}m interval that allow the determination of i) the spectral type of B dwarfs and giants to within two subtypes; ii) the luminosity class of B stars to within two classes; iii) the mass-loss rate of O stars and B supergiants to within 0.25dex.

- Spectra classification from ISO PHT-S database
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/151/299
- Date:

- Description:
- We have classified over 1500 infrared spectra obtained with the PHT-S spectrometer aboard the Infrared Space Observatory according to the system developed for the Short Wavelength Spectrometer (SWS) spectra by Kraemer et al. (2002ApJS..140..389K). The majority of these spectra contribute to subclasses that are either under-represented in the SWS spectral database or contain sources that are too faint, such as M dwarfs, to have been observed by either the SWS or the Infrared Astronomical Satellite Low Resolution Spectrometer. There is strong overall agreement about the chemistry of objects observed with both instruments. Discrepancies can usually be traced to the different wavelength ranges and sensitivities of the instruments. Finally, a large subset of the observations (~250 spectra) exhibit a featureless, red continuum that is consistent with emission from zodiacal dust and suggest directions for further analysis of this serendipitous measurement of the zodiacal background.

- The ISO-SWS post-helium atlas
- Short Name:

- CDS
- Description:
- We present an atlas of near-infrared spectra (2.36{mu}m-4.1{mu}m) of ~300 stars at moderate resolution ({lambda}/{delta}{lambda}~1500-2000). The spectra were recorded using the Short-Wavelength Spectrometer aboard the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO-SWS). The bulk of the observations were performed during a dedicated observation campaign after the liquid helium depletion of the ISO satellite, the so-called post-helium programme. This programme was aimed at extending the MK-classification to the near-infrared.
