102-band SPHEREx spectrum (SED)

5-second sweep from 0.75 to 5.0 µm — higher pitch means brighter infrared flux.

Multi-Survey Cross-Match

Same coordinates and field of view in every survey. If the object sits on the crosshair in SPHEREx but is offset or missing in older images, it has moved — or it's new.
