Abstract

The spectrophotometric observations of solar system were studied to provide an astronomical context for understanding the solar system. Investigations show that the mid-infrared spectroscopic observations were sensitive to dust particles, which in turn probe the physical conditions in the disk. Data was collected to realize the fundamental limits imposed by the instrument stability and systematic calibration uncertainities. The results show the measurement of mean properties of the evolving dust disks, and the measurement of various evolutionary paths related to stellar properties.
