Spitzer Space Telescope - Directors Discretionary Time Proposal #472

IRS spectroscopy of candidate SEP WISE standards

Principal Investigator: Martin Cohen 
           Institution: University of California, Berkeley 

Technical Contact: Martin Cohen, University of California, Berkeley 

Science Category: stellar populations 
Observing Modes: IrsStare
Hours Approved: 3.5 

Abstract:
This proposal is to use IRS to observe stars in the WISE single field-of-view (FOV) at 
the SEP and supplements our previously accepted DDT proposal in support of WISE calibration
stars.  The stars in this continuation proposal were approved in principle by our meeting 
with the ISTs, but we were advised to withdraw our SEP "generic" sources and resubmit once 
we had identified the target stars by name.  This we have done.  This small proposal 
completes our request for DDT time in support of WISE.  As was the case in our original DDT
proposal ands its revised version this proposal is supported by the entire WISE Science Team.
