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 search for habitable worlds: 1. The viability of a starshade mission
Margaret C. Turnbull, Tiffany Glassman, Aki Roberge +6
As part of NASA's mission to explore habitable planets orbiting nearby stars, this paper explores the detection and characterization capabilities of a 4-m space telescope plus 50-m…
Advanced Technology Large-Aperture Space Telescope (ATLAST): A Technology Roadmap for the Next Decade
Marc Postman, Vic Argabright, Bill Arnold +65
The Advanced Technology Large-Aperture Space Telescope (ATLAST) is a set of mission concepts for the next generation of UVOIR space observatory with a primary aperture diameter in…
Morphological Evolution of Distant Galaxies from Adaptive Optics Imaging
T. M. Glassman, J. E. Larkin, D. Lafrenière
We report here on a sample of resolved, infrared images of galaxies at z~0.5 taken with the 10-m Keck Telescope's Adaptive Optics (AO) system. We regularly achieve a spatial resolu…
Exploring the Structure of Distant Galaxies with Adaptive Optics on the Keck-II Telescope
J. E. Larkin, T. M. Glassman, P. Wizinowich +5
We report on the first observation of cosmologically distant field galaxies with an high order Adaptive Optics (AO) system on an 8-10 meter class telescope. Two galaxies were obser…

James E. Larkin, Ian S. McLean, James R. Graham +7
This paper presents infrared spectra taken with the newly commissioned NIRSPEC spectrograph on the Keck II Telescope of the High Redshift Radio Galaxy MRC 2025-218 (z=2.63) These o…
Infrared Spectroscopy of the High Redshift Radio Galaxy MRC~2025-218 and a Neighboring Extremely Red Galaxy
J. E. Larkin, I. S. McLean, J. R. Graham +7
This paper presents infrared spectra taken with the newly commissioned NIRSPEC spectrograph on the Keck Telescope of the High Redshift Radio Galaxy MRC 2025-218 (z=2.630) and an ex…
