The James Webb Space Telescope Absolute Flux Calibration. III. Mid-Infrared Instrument Medium Resolution IFU Spectrometer

David R. Law, Ioannis Argyriou, Karl D. Gordon +7

We describe the spectrophotometric calibration of the Mid-Infrared Instrument's (MIRI) Medium Resolution Spectrometer (MRS) aboard the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This calib…

Geometric distortion and astrometric calibration of the JWST MIRI Medium Resolution Spectrometer

P. Patapis, I. Argyriou, D. R. Law +12

The Medium-Resolution integral field Spectrometer (MRS) of MIRI on board JWST performs spectroscopy between 5 and 28~m. The optics of the MRS introduce substantial distortion, a…

JWST MIRI/MRS in-flight absolute flux calibration and tailored fringe correction for unresolved sources

D. Gasman, I. Argyriou, G. C. Sloan +18

The MRS is one of the four observing modes of JWST/MIRI. Using JWST in-flight data of unresolved (point) sources, we can derive the MRS absolute spectral response function (ASRF) s…
