The MIRI/MRS Library I. Empirically correcting detector charge migration in unresolved sources
Danny Gasman, Ioannis Argyriou, Jane E. Morrison +7
The JWST has been collecting scientific data for over two years now. Scientists are now looking deeper into the data, which introduces the need to correct known systematic effects.…
JWST MIRI Flight Performance: Imaging
Dan Dicken, Macarena García Marín, Irene Shivaei +37
The Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) aboard the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) provides the observatory with a huge advance in mid-infrared imaging and spectroscopy covering the w…
Geometric distortion and astrometric calibration of the JWST MIRI Medium Resolution Spectrometer
P. Patapis, I. Argyriou, D. R. Law +12
The Medium-Resolution integral field Spectrometer (MRS) of MIRI on board JWST performs spectroscopy between 5 and 28~m. The optics of the MRS introduce substantial distortion, a…
A 3D Drizzle Algorithm for JWST and Practical Application to the MIRI Medium Resolution Spectrometer
David R. Law, Jane E. Morrison, Ioannis Argyriou +4
We describe an algorithm for application of the classic `drizzle' technique to produce 3d spectral cubes using data obtained from the slicer-type integral field unit (IFU) spectrom…
The Enhanced Resolution Imager and Spectrograph for the VLT
R. Davies, O. Absil, G. Agapito +81
ERIS, the Enhanced Resolution Imager and Spectrograph, is an instrument that both extends and enhances the fundamental diffraction limited imaging and spectroscopy capability for t…
JWST MIRI flight performance: The Medium-Resolution Spectrometer
Ioannis Argyriou, Alistair Glasse, David R. Law +22
The Medium-Resolution Spectrometer (MRS) provides one of the four operating modes of the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on board the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The MRS is a…
The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems: Best Practices for Data Collection in Cycle 2 and Beyond
Sasha Hinkley, Beth Biller, Andrew Skemer +35
We present a set of recommended best practices for JWST data collection for members of the community focussed on the direct imaging and spectroscopy of exoplanetary systems. These…
Observations of the Planetary Nebula SMP LMC 058 with the JWST MIRI Medium Resolution Spectrometer
O. C. Jones, J. Álvarez-Márquez, G. C. Sloan +21
During the commissioning of {\em JWST}, the Medium-Resolution Spectrometer (MRS) on the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) observed the planetary nebula SMP LMC 058 in the Large Magell…
JWST MIRI/MRS in-flight absolute flux calibration and tailored fringe correction for unresolved sources
D. Gasman, I. Argyriou, G. C. Sloan +18
The MRS is one of the four observing modes of JWST/MIRI. Using JWST in-flight data of unresolved (point) sources, we can derive the MRS absolute spectral response function (ASRF) s…
Active focal-plane coronagraphy with liquid-crystal spatial-light modulators: Broadband contrast performance in the visible
J. G. Kuhn, P. Patapis
The technological progress in spatial-light modulators (SLM) technology has made it possible to use those devices as programmable active focal-plane phase coronagraphic masks, open…
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…
