Far-infrared spectroscopy probes the cold and dust-enshrouded regions of the Universe by measuring electromagnetic radiation in the 30–300 μm band. This regime encompasses the principal cooling lines ...

Infrared astronomy relies on specialised instruments designed to detect and analyse radiation from approximately 1 µm to several hundred microns in wavelength. Key components include cooled detector ...

It is 20 years ago this year that Europe, in collaboration with the United States, launched the first infrared observatory into space. Its infrared powers revealed a secret universe that, to this day, ...
