Abstract:

We describe the Geophysics Laboratory Infrared Array Spectrometer, a long-slit spectrometer configured for astronomical observations at wavelengths of 7 to 14 microns. We present the history of the instruments development and use at the Wyoming Infrared Observatory, discuss some of the problems faced, and describe the resultant scientific publications. The appendices to this report contain several of the more important scientific publications.
