Sloan Digital Sky Survey-V: Pioneering Panoptic Spectroscopy
Juna A. Kollmeier, Hans-Walter Rix, Conny Aerts +217
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-V (SDSS-V) is pioneering panoptic spectroscopy: it is the first all-sky, multi-epoch, optical-to-infrared spectroscopic survey. SDSS-V is mapping the s…
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…
The In-Flight Noise Performance of the JWST/NIRSpec Detector System
Stephan M. Birkmann, Giovanna Giardino, Marco Sirianni +11
The Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) is one the four focal plane instruments on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) which was launched on December 25, 2021. We present the in…
Astrometric and Wavelength Calibration of the NIRSpec Instrument during Commissioning using a model-based approach
Nora Lützgendorf, Giovanna Giardino, Catarina Alves de Oliveira +11
The NIRSpec instrument for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a highly versatile near-infrared spectrograph that can be operated in various observing modes, slit apertures, a…
In-flight performance and calibration of the Grating Wheel Assembly sensors (NIRSpec/JWST)
Catarina Alves de Oliveira, Nora Luetzgendorf, Peter Zeidler +9
The Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) on board of the James Webb Space Telescope will be the first multi-object spectrograph in space offering ~250,000 configurable micro-shutte…
Optical throughput and sensitivity of JWST NIRSpec
G. Giardino, R. Bhatawdekar, S. M. Birkmann +13
To achieve its ambitious scientific goals, the Near-Infrared Spectrograph, NIRSpec, on board the Webb Space Telescope, needs to meet very demanding throughput requirements, here qu…
In-orbit Commissioning of the Near-Infrared Spectrograph on the James Webb Space Telescope
Torsten Böker, Yasin Abul-Huda, Martin Altenburg +41
The Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) is one of the four focal plane instruments on the James Webb Space Telescope which was launched on Dec. 25, 2021. We present an overview of…
The Science Performance of JWST as Characterized in Commissioning
Jane Rigby, Marshall Perrin, Michael McElwain +623
This paper characterizes the actual science performance of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), as determined from the six month commissioning period. We summarize the performanc…
