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…

Performance of near-infrared high-contrast imaging methods with JWST from commissioning

Jens Kammerer, Julien Girard, Aarynn L. Carter +12

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will revolutionize the field of high-contrast imaging and enable both the direct detection of Saturn-mass planets and the characterization of…

The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems II: A 1 to 20 Micron Spectrum of the Planetary-Mass Companion VHS 1256-1257 b

Brittany E. Miles, Beth A. Biller, Polychronis Patapis +101

We present the highest fidelity spectrum to date of a planetary-mass object. VHS 1256 b is a 20 M widely separated (8\arcsec, a = 150 au), young, planetary-…

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…
