How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T18198945 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
IRDIS – Infra-Red Dual-beam Imager and Spectrograph
IRDIS – Infra-Red Dual-beam Imager and Spectrograph is a near-infrared imaging and spectroscopic instrument used in high-contrast exoplanet and circumstellar disk observations as part of the SPHERE facility on the Very Large Telescope.
-
B.
Infrared Spectrograph
The Infrared Spectrograph is a scientific instrument designed to disperse and analyze infrared light from astronomical objects, enabling detailed studies of their composition, temperature, and physical conditions.
-
C.
Infrared Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS)
The Infrared Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) is a high-resolution near-infrared imager and spectrograph designed to study faint, distant, and compact astronomical objects with the Thirty Meter Telescope’s adaptive optics system.
-
D.
Mid-Infrared Instrument
The Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) is a key James Webb Space Telescope payload that provides imaging, spectroscopy, and coronagraphy in the mid-infrared range to study cold, distant, and dust-obscured cosmic objects.
-
E.
Imaging IR Spectrometer
The Imaging IR Spectrometer is a Chandrayaan-2 orbiter instrument designed to map the Moon’s surface composition by measuring reflected and emitted infrared radiation.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
