Breaking the brightness barrier: JWST/NIRCam DHS spectroscopy for high-precision time-series observations

Achrene Dyrek, John Stansberry, Louis E. Bergeron +12

Many of the most scientifically compelling exoplanets orbit bright nearby stars that exceed the brightness limits of existing JWST spectroscopic observing modes. To address this li…

Empirical Modeling of Zodiacal Backgrounds to Improve JWST NIRISS/SOSS Data Reduction

Tyler Baines, Aarynn Carter, Néstor Espinoza +3

Zodiacal light -- arising from both the thermal emission and scattered sunlight by interplanetary dust -- is the dominant component of the sky background in NIRISS Single Object Sl…

Effects of Jump Detection and Ramp Fitting Algorithms on NIRISS/SOSS Exoplanet Time-Series Observations

Aarynn Carter, Néstor Espinoza, Loïc Albert +4

Jump detection and ramp fitting are fundamental steps when elevating JWST data products from up-the-ramp measurements to integration level count rate images. Occurring at an early…

Characterization of the visit-to-visit Stability of the GR700XD Wavelength Calibration for NIRISS/SOSS Observations

Tyler Baines, Néstor Espinoza, Joseph Filippazzo +1

When utilizing the NIRISS/SOSS mode on JWST, the pupil wheel (tasked with orienting the GR700XD grism into the optical path) does not consistently settle into its commanded positio…

Characterization of the visit-to-visit Stability of the GR700XD Spectral Traces for NIRISS/SOSS Observations

Tyler Baines, Néstor Espinoza, Joseph Filippazzo +1

In this report, we present the results of our analysis of trace position changes during NIRISS/SOSS observations. We examine the visit-to-visit impact of the GR700XD pupil wheel (P…
