TL;DR: The Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) as discussed by the authors provides long-wavelength capability for the mission in imaging bands at 24, 70, and 160?m and measurements of spectral energy distributions between 52 and 100?m at a spectral resolution of about 7%.

Spectral Irradiance Calibration in the Infrared. XIV: the Absolute Calibration of 2MASS
TL;DR: In this article, the optical components in the three 2MASS cameras, and incorporated detector quantum efficiency curves and site-specific atmospheric transmissions, were combined to create three relative spectral response curves (RSRs) associated with "zero magnitude" in the JHKs bands.

Spectral Irradiance Calibration in the Infrared. XIV. The Absolute Calibration of 2MASS
TL;DR: In this paper, the optical components in the three cameras of the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), and incorporated detector quantum efficiency curves and site-specific atmospheric transmissions, were combined to create three relative spectral response curves (RSRs).
