Detectors for the James Webb Space Telescope Near-Infrared Spectrograph I: Readout Mode, Noise Model, and Calibration Considerations
Bernard J. Rauscher, Ori Fox, Pierre Ferruit
We describe how the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Near-Infrared Spectrograph's (NIRSpec's) detectors will be read out, and present a model of how noise scales with the number o…
3D Studies of Neutral and Ionised Gas and Stars in Seyfert and Inactive Galaxies
C. G. Mundell, G. Dumas, E. Schinnerer +8
We are conducting the first systematic 3D spectroscopic imaging survey to quantify the properties of the atomic gas (HI) in a distance-limited sample of 28 Seyfert galaxies and a s…
Probing unexplored territories with MUSE: a second generation instrument for the VLT
R. Bacon, S. Bauer, P. Boehm +57
The Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) is a second-generation VLT panoramic integral-field spectrograph under preliminary design study. MUSE has a field of 1x1 arcmin**2 samp…
Gas and stellar dynamics in NGC 1068. Probing the galactic gravitational potential
Eric Emsellem, Kambiz Fathi, Herve Wozniak +3
We present Sauron 2D spectrography of the central 1.5 kpc of the nearby Sey2 galaxy NGC1068, encompassing the well-known NIR inner bar. We have successively disentangled the respec…
Spatially Resolved Ultraviolet Spectra of the High-Velocity Nuclear Outflow of NGC 1068
Brent Groves, Gerald Cecil, Pierre Ferruit +1
We present ultraviolet emission-line maps of the narrow-line region (NLR) of NGC 1068. The maps span 115--318 nm, the biconical ionization cone, several posited jet/ISM interaction…
OASIS High-Resolution Integral Field Spectroscopy of the SAURON Ellipticals and Lenticulars
R. McDermid, E. Emsellem, M. Cappellari +12
We present a summary of high-spatial resolution follow-up observations of the elliptical (E) and lenticular (S0) galaxies in the SAURON survey using the OASIS integral field spectr…
