Catalog of Spitzer Small Bodies Observations

Archive of Spitzer observations allows to search the data by the Program Identification Number (PID#). The table below lists the observations organized by the type of small body (comet, asteroid, KBO, etc.). It identifies PID# and NAIF ID for the body (in the case of multiple bodies observed it provides a list of NAIF IDs).

In order to get access to this data, you will need to download the Spitzer Pride package from the Spitzer website and run Leopard. When you run Leopard, there are a few ways you can gain access to the data, dependent upon how broad you wish to search.   

You can do a program search, by providing the program PID#, which is provided on the tables for each program. This will give you a list of all objects that this program had data on.

You can do a search for a specific object by either providing the NAIF Name, Naif ID#, or the combination of RA and DEC. By far providing either the NAIF ID# or the combination of RA and DEC will give you the best results. Several objects have a similar NAIF Name and so you will be required to narrow your search further by Leopard.

For any further questions on using Leopard, please look at their help files or contact them. We have provided the best data to use for searching for your specific object.
