Very Late-Time JWST and Keck Spectra of the Oxygen-Rich Supernova 1995N

Geoffrey C. Clayton, R. Wesson, Ori D. Fox +43

We present new {\it JWST}/MIRI MRS and Keck spectra of SN 1995N obtained in 2022--2023, more than 10,000 days after the supernova (SN) explosion. These spectra are among the latest…

JWST/MIRI detects the dusty SN1993J about 30 years after explosion

Tamás Szalai, Szanna Zsíros, Jacob Jencson +37

Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) have long been considered to contribute significantly to the cosmic dust budget. New dust cools quickly and is therefore detectable at mid-infrared…

JWST/MIRI Observations of Newly Formed Dust in the Cold, Dense Shell of the Type IIn SN 2005ip

Melissa Shahbandeh, Ori D. Fox, Tea Temim +42

Dust from core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe), specifically Type IIP SNe, has been suggested to be a significant source of the dust observed in high-redshift galaxies. CCSNe eject lar…

Serendipitous detection of the dusty Type IIL SN 1980K with JWST/MIRI

Szanna Zsíros, Tamás Szalai, Ilse De Looze +39

We present mid-infrared (mid-IR) imaging of the Type IIL supernova (SN) 1980K with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) more than 40 yr post-explosion. SN 1980K, located in the ne…

In-flight performance of the NIRSpec Micro Shutter Array

Timothy D. Rawle, Giovanna Giardino, David E. Franz +33

The NIRSpec instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) brings the first multi-object spectrograph (MOS) into space, enabled by a programmable Micro Shutter Array (MSA) of…

In-orbit Commissioning of the Near-Infrared Spectrograph on the James Webb Space Telescope

Torsten Böker, Yasin Abul-Huda, Martin Altenburg +41

The Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) is one of the four focal plane instruments on the James Webb Space Telescope which was launched on Dec. 25, 2021. We present an overview of…

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…

Galactic Cold Cores. VIII. Filament formation and evolution: Filament properties in context with evolutionary models

A. Rivera-Ingraham, I. Ristorcelli, M. Juvela +15

Filaments are key for star formation models. As part of the study carried out by the Herschel GCC Programme, here we study the filament properties presented in GCC.VII in context w…

Finding Wolf-Rayet Stars in the Milky Way: Inputs to Star Formation and Stellar Evolution

A. P. Marston, J. Mauerhan, P. Morris +1

The total population of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars in the Galaxy is predicted by models to be as many as 6000 stars, and yet the number of catalogued WR stars as a result of optic…
