Infrared Space Observatory (ISO)

Lifetime:	1995-1998
Wavelength:	2.5 µm - 240 µm
Area Coverage:	Targeted
Instruments:	Infrared Camera (ISOCAM) covering 2.5-17 µm band photo-polarimeter (ISOPHOT), 2.5-240 µm Short-Wave Spectrometer (SWS), 2.4-45 µm Long-Wave Spectrometer (LWS), 45-196.8 µm
Science Products Generated:	1239 SWS-AOT1 spectra and 23 SWS-AOT6 spectra; ISO archive interoperability
Funding Agency:	Based on observations with ISO, an ESA project with instruments funded by ESA Member States (especially the PI countries: France, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom) and with the participation of ISAS and NASA.

ISO Visualizer	A tool for displaying ISO observations on the sky, providing links to the ISO postcard server at Vilspa, Spain.
An Improved Atlas of Full-Scan Spectra from ISO/SWS	This dataset contains an updated atlas of spectra from the Short-Wavelength Spectrometer (SWS) on the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO), which took spectra from 2.4 to 45 um. The updated atlas (Mizuno et al. 2025) contains 1035 spectra that were reprocessed starting from the "pws" files from the original atlas of Sloan et al. (2003).
ISO Spectra from the Short Wavelength Spectrometer (SWS)	A uniform catalog of Short Wavelength Spectrometer (SWS) spectra derived from valid, full-scan, 2.4 - 45.5 micron spectra is available in the ISO archive. Data set made available by Gregory C. Sloan.
ISOGAL	Images and catalog of the Galactic center.
