The IRC slow-scan observations were operated at the S9W (9 $\\mu$m) and L18W (18 $\\mu$m) bands. We have developed a toolkit for data reduction of the IRC slow-scan observations. We introduced a \"self-pointing reconstruction\" method to improve the positional accuracy to as good as 1\". The sizes of the point spread functions were derived to be $\\sim6\"$ at the S9W band and $\\sim7\"$ at the L18W bands in full width at half maximum. The flux calibrations were achieved with th"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1209.0931","kind":"arxiv","version":1},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
