How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T12449499 — 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.

Target entity: Infrared Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) Context triple: [TMT, hasInstrument, Infrared Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS)]
-
A.
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.
-
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.
Near Infrared Spectrometer
The Near Infrared Spectrometer is a scientific instrument designed to analyze the composition and mineralogy of surfaces or atmospheres by measuring their reflected or emitted light in the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
-
D.
Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph
The Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (NIRISS) is a James Webb Space Telescope instrument designed for high-sensitivity near-infrared imaging and spectroscopy, particularly suited for exoplanet characterization and studies of distant galaxies.
-
E.
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.
