NEID is a high-resolution red-optical precision radial velocity (RV) spectrograph recently commissioned at the WIYN 3.5 m telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory, Arizona, USA.…
The James Webb Space Telescope Mission
Jonathan P. Gardner, John C. Mather, Randy Abbott +1004
Twenty-six years ago a small committee report, building on earlier studies, expounded a compelling and poetic vision for the future of astronomy, calling for an infrared-optimized…
NIRCam Performance on JWST In Flight
Marcia J. Rieke, Douglas M. Kelly, Karl Misselt +7
The Near Infrared Camera for the James Webb Space Telescope is delivering the imagery that astronomers have hoped for ever since JWST was proposed back in the 1990s. In the Commiss…
Community Report from the Biosignatures Standards of Evidence Workshop
Victoria Meadows, Heather Graham, Victor Abrahamsson +72
The search for life beyond the Earth is the overarching goal of the NASA Astrobiology Program, and it underpins the science of missions that explore the environments of Solar Syste…
Validating the Local Volume Mapper acquisition and guiding hardware
Maximilian Häberle, Thomas M. Herbst, Peter Bizenberger +13
The Local Volume Mapper (LVM) project is one of three surveys that form the Sloan Digital Sky Survey V. It will map the interstellar gas emission in a large fraction of the souther…
The DECam Local Volume Exploration Survey Data Release 2
