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…
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 Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph for the James Webb Space Telescope -- IV. Aperture Masking Interferometry
Anand Sivaramakrishnan, Peter Tuthill, James P. Lloyd +36
The James Webb Space Telescope's Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (JWST-NIRISS) flies a 7-hole non-redundant mask (NRM), the first such interferometer in space, opera…
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…
Stellar populations across the NGC4244 truncated galactic disk
Roelof S. de Jong, A. C. Seth, D. J. Radburn-Smith +12
We use HST/ACS to study the resolved stellar populations of the nearby, nearly edge-on galaxy NGC4244 across its outer disk surface density break. The stellar photometry allows us…
GHOSTS: The Resolved Stellar Outskirts of Massive Disk Galaxies
Roelof S. de Jong, A. C. Seth, E. F. Bell +10
We show initial results from our ongoing HST GHOSTS survey of the resolved stellar envelopes of 14 nearby, massive disk galaxies. In hierarchical galaxy formation the stellar halos…
