NIRCam Performance on JWST In Flight

Marcia J. Rieke, Douglas M. Kelly, Karl Misselt +7

The Near Infrared Camera for the James Webb Space Telescope is delivering the imagery that astronomers have hoped for ever since JWST was proposed back in the 1990s. In the Commiss…

JWST NIRCam Defocused Imaging: Photometric Stability Performance and How it Can Sense Mirror Tilts

Everett Schlawin, Thomas Beatty, Brian Brooks +25

We use JWST NIRCam short wavelength photometry to capture a transit lightcurve of the exoplanet HAT-P-14 b to assess performance as part of instrument commissioning. The short wave…

The internal proper motion kinematics of NGC346: past formation and future evolution

E. Sabbi, P. Zeidler, R. P. van der Marel +6

We investigate the internal kinematics of the young star-forming region NGC 346 in the Small Magellanic Cloud. We used two epochs of deep F555W and F814W Hubble Space Telescope ACS…

First Peek with JWST/NIRCam Wide-Field Slitless Spectroscopy: Serendipitous Discovery of a Strong [O III]/H Emitter at

Fengwu Sun, Eiichi Egami, Nor Pirzkal +15

We report the serendipitous discovery of an [O III] 4959/5007 and H line emitter in the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) with the JWST commissioning data taken in the NIRCam wide…

Planet populations inferred from debris discs: insights from 178 debris systems in the ISPY, LEECH and LIStEN planet-hunting surveys

Tim D. Pearce, Ralf Launhardt, Robert Ostermann +11

We know little about the outermost exoplanets in planetary systems, because our detection methods are insensitive to moderate-mass planets on wide orbits. However, debris discs can…
