The Mid-Infrared Instrument for the James Webb Space Telescope, VI: The Medium Resolution Spectrometer

Martyn Wells, J. -W. Pel, Alistair Glasse +35

We describe the design and performance of the Medium Resolution Spectrometer (MRS) for the JWST-MIRI instrument. The MRS incorporates four coaxial spectral channels in a compact op…

The Mid-Infrared Instrument for JWST, II: Design and Build

G. S. Wright, David Wright, G. B. Goodson +70

The Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI) on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) provides measurements over the wavelength range 5 to 28.5 microns. MIRI has, within a single 'package',…

CORS Baade-Wesselink method in the Walraven photometric system: the Period-Radius and the Period-Luminosity relation of Classical Cepheids

R. Molinaro, V. Ripepi, M. Marconi +4

We present a new derivation of the CORS Baade-Wesselink method in the Walraven photometric system. We solved the complete Baade-Wesselink equation by calibrating the surface bright…

New Baade-Wesselink distances and radii for four metal-rich Galactic Cepheids

S. Pedicelli, B. Lemasle, M. Groenewegen +10

We provided accurate estimates of distances, radii and iron abundances for four metal-rich Cepheids, namely V340 Ara, UZ Sct, AV Sgr and VY Sgr. The main aim of this investigation…

Dust tori in radio galaxies

G. van der Wolk, P. D. Barthel, R. F. Peletier +1

We investigate the validity of the quasar - radio galaxy unification scenario and detect dust tori within radio galaxies of various types. Using VISIR on the VLT, we acquired sub-a…

On the metallicity gradient of the Galactic disk

S. Pedicelli, G. Bono, B. Lemasle +15

Aims: The iron abundance gradient in the Galactic stellar disk provides fundamental constraints on the chemical evolution of this important Galaxy component. However the spread aro…
