Wide field Slitless Spectroscopy with JWST's MIRI
Andreea Petric, Sarah Kendrew, David Law +12
We present a snapshot of the ongoing efforts to obtain background-subtracted, wavelength-, and flux-calibrated spectra taken with the new Wide-Field Slitless Spectroscopy (WFSS) mo…
Enhancing the performance and capabilities of the MIRI instrument on JWST
S. Kendrew, M. Engesser, K. Rowlands +23
MIRI, the Mid-Infrared Instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope, is the only instrument sensitive to wavelengths longward of 5 um on the observatory. In this regime, MIRI bring…
JWST MIRI Flight Performance: Imaging
Dan Dicken, Macarena García Marín, Irene Shivaei +37
The Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) aboard the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) provides the observatory with a huge advance in mid-infrared imaging and spectroscopy covering the w…
JWST MIRI flight performance: Detector Effects and Data Reduction Algorithms
Jane Morrison, Daniel Dicken, Ioannis Argyriou +21
The detectors in the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) are arsenic-21 doped silicon impurity band conduction (Si:As IBC) devices and are direc…
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…
JWST MIRI flight performance: The Medium-Resolution Spectrometer
Ioannis Argyriou, Alistair Glasse, David R. Law +22
The Medium-Resolution Spectrometer (MRS) provides one of the four operating modes of the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on board the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The MRS is a…
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…
