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…
First Sample of H+[O III] 5007 Line Emitters at Through JWST/NIRCam Slitless Spectroscopy: Physical Properties and Line Luminosity Functions
Fengwu Sun, Eiichi Egami, Nor Pirzkal +26
We present a sample of four emission-line galaxies at that were serendipitously discovered using the commissioning data for the JWST/NIRCam wide-field slitless spectr…
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…
Reorientation of Sputnik Planitia implies a Subsurface Ocean on Pluto
F. Nimmo, D. P. Hamilton, W. B. McKinnon P. M. Schenk +60
The deep nitrogen-covered Sputnik Planitia (SP; informal name) basin on Pluto is located very close to the longitude of Pluto's tidal axis[1] and may be an impact feature [2], by a…
Detection of CO and HCN in Pluto's atmosphere with ALMA
E. Lellouch, M. Gurwell, B. Butler +16
Observations of the Pluto-Charon system, acquired with the ALMA interferometer on June 12-13, 2015, have yielded a detection of the CO(3-2) and HCN(4-3) rotational transitions from…
JWST observations of stellar occultations by solar system bodies and rings
P. Santos-Sanz, R. G. French, N. Pinilla-Alonso +14
In this paper we investigate the opportunities provided by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) for significant scientific advances in the study of solar system bodies and rings u…
