摘要：

The Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) is one of three focal plane instruments on the Spitzer Space Telescope. IRAC is a four-channel camera that obtains simultaneous broadband images at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 mum. Two nearly adjacent 5.'2; 5.'2 fields of view in the focal plane are viewed by the four channels in pairs ( 3.6 and 5.8 mum; 4.5 and 8 mum). All four detector arrays in the camera are 256 x 256 pixels in size, with the two shorter wavelength channels using InSb and the two longer wavelength channels using Si: As IBC detectors. IRAC is a powerful survey instrument because of its high sensitivity, large field of view, and four-color imaging. This paper summarizes the in-flight scientific, technical, and operational performance of IRAC.
