How dark the sky: the JWST backgrounds
Jane R. Rigby, Paul A. Lightsey, Macarena García Marín +17
We describe the sources of stray light and thermal background that affect JWST observations, report actual backgrounds as measured from commissioning and early-science observations…
Pandeia: A Multi-mission Exposure Time Calculator for JWST and WFIRST
Klaus M. Pontoppidan, Timothy E. Pickering, Victoria G. Laidler +12
Pandeia is the exposure time calculator (ETC) system developed for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) that will be used for creating JWST proposals. It includes a simulation-hyb…

The GSC-II is an all-sky database of objects derived from the uncompressed DSS that the STScI has created from the Palomar and UK Schmidt survey plates and made available to the co…
AGN Host Galaxies at z~0.4-1.3 : Bulge-dominated and Lacking Merger-AGN Connection
N. A. Grogin, C. J. Conselice, E. Chatzichristou +13
We investigate morphological structure parameters and local environments of distant moderate-luminosity active galactic nucleus (AGN) host galaxies in the overlap between the HST/A…
The Hubble Higher-Z Supernova Search: Supernovae to z=1.6 and Constraints on Type Ia Progenitor Models
L. -G. Strolger, A. G. Riess, T. Dahlen +33
We present results from the Hubble Higher-z Supernova Search, the first space-based open field survey for supernovae (SNe). In cooperation with the Great Observatories Origins Deep…
