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…
Cospatial Star Formation and Supermassive Black Hole Growth in Galaxies: Evidence for In-situ Co-evolution
W. Rujopakarn, K. Nyland, G. H. Rieke +7
We present a sub-kpc localization of the sites of supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth in three active galactic nuclei (AGN) at in relation to the regions of intense st…
Nulling Data Reduction and On-Sky Performance of the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer
D. Defrère, P. M. Hinz, B. Mennesson +36
The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI) is a versatile instrument designed for high-angular resolution and high-contrast infrared imaging (1.5-13 microns). In this pape…
The Mid-Infrared Instrument for the James Webb Space Telescope, X. Operations and Data Reduction
Karl D. Gordon, C. H. Chen, Rachel E. Anderson +26
We describe the operations concept and data reduction plan for the Mid- Infrared Instrument (MIRI) for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The overall JWST operations concept is…
The Mid-Infrared Instrument for the James Webb Space Telescope, VII: The MIRI Detectors
G. H. Rieke, M. E. Ressler, Jane E. Morrison +7
The MIRI Si:As IBC detector arrays extend the heritage technology from the Spitzer IRAC arrays to a 1024 x 1024 pixel format. We provide a short discussion of the principles of ope…
The Mid-Infrared Instrument for the James Webb Space Telescope, V: Predicted Performance of the MIRI Coronagraphs
A. Boccaletti, P. -O. Lagage, P. Baudoz +17
The imaging channel on the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) is equipped with four coronagraphs that provide high contrast imaging capabilities for studying faint point sources and ex…
