“…The operation of the Rockwell/Boeing arrays is discussed elsewhere (Seib, Salcido, & Reynolds 1994). Because of the very large background flux seen by SCORE from the telescope and the atmosphere as compared to the very low SIRTF background, the SCORE detector was equipped with a multiplexer with much deeper wells, versus electrons, 6 5 6 # 10 2 # 10 than will be used in the SIRTF modules.…”

SCORE (SIRTF Cornell Echelle) is a mid-infrared spectrograph with a resolution of l/Dl ϭ covering the entire ground-based 10 mm atmospheric window in a single exposure. It was built as a proof 600 of concept for one of the SIRTF (Space Infrared Telescope Facility) instruments. It has no moving mechanical parts. SCORE was designed to operate properly upon assembly needing nothing more than a one-time focus adjustment. The instrument has been adapted for use on the Palomar 200 inch (5 m) Hale telescope and has been used there successfully. The demonstrated starting sensitivity is 105 mJy (1 j in 100 s at 10 mm). A direct extrapolation to SIRTF conditions predicts a sensitivity between 60 and 90 better than demonstrated on the 200 inch telescope for the same elapsed observing time. Algorithms for reducing the data have been developed in IDL and are discussed. Sample astronomical observations demonstrating SCORE's operation are also presented.
