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 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…
The Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph for the James Webb Space Telescope -- II. Wide Field Slitless Spectroscopy
Chris J. Willott, René Doyon, Loic Albert +26
We present the wide field slitless spectroscopy mode of the NIRISS instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope. This mode employs two orthogonal low-resolution (resolving power $\…
Observations of the Bright Star in the Globular Cluster 47 Tucanae (NGC 104)
William V. Dixon, Pierre Chayer, Marcelo Miguel Miller Bertolami +3
The Bright Star in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae (NGC 104) is a post-AGB star of spectral type B8 III. The ultraviolet spectra of late-B stars exhibit a myriad of absorption feat…
Observations of the Ultraviolet-Bright Star Barnard 29 in the Globular Cluster M13 (NGC 6205)
William V. Dixon, Pierre Chayer, I. N. Reid +1
We have analyzed FUSE, COS, GHRS, and Keck HIRES spectra of the UV-bright star Barnard 29 in M13 (NGC 6205). By comparing the photospheric abundances derived from multiple ionizati…
Observations of the Ultraviolet-Bright Star Y453 in the Globular Cluster M4 (NGC 6121)
William V. Dixon, Pierre Chayer, Marilyn Latour +2
We present a spectral analysis of the UV-bright star Y453 in M4. Model fits to the star's optical spectrum yield T_eff ~ 56,000 K. Fits to the star's FUV spectrum, obtained with th…
