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 James Webb Space Telescope Mission: Optical Telescope Element Design, Development, and Performance
Michael W. McElwain, Lee D. Feinberg, Marshall D. Perrin +126
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large, infrared space telescope that has recently started its science program which will enable breakthroughs in astrophysics and planeta…
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…
New Horizons in Cosmology with Spectral Distortions of the Cosmic Microwave Background
J. Chluba, M. H. Abitbol, N. Aghanim +27
Voyage 2050 White Paper highlighting the unique science opportunities using spectral distortions of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). CMB spectral distortions probe many proce…
Microwave Spectro-Polarimetry of Matter and Radiation across Space and Time
Jacques Delabrouille, Maximilian H. Abitbol, Nabila Aghanim +77
This paper discusses the science case for a sensitive spectro-polarimetric survey of the microwave sky. Such a survey would provide a tomographic and dynamic census of the three-di…
Spectral Distortions of the CMB as a Probe of Inflation, Recombination, Structure Formation and Particle Physics
J. Chluba, A. Kogut, S. P. Patil +98
Following the pioneering observations with COBE in the early 1990s, studies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) have focused on temperature and polarization anisotropies. CMB…
