In-orbit Performance of the Near-Infrared Spectrograph NIRSpec on the James Webb Space Telescope
T. Böker, T. L. Beck, S. M. Birkmann +47
The Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) is one of the four focal plane instruments on the James Webb Space Telescope. In this paper, we summarize the in-orbit performance of NIRSp…
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…
The James Webb Space Telescope Absolute Flux Calibration. I. Program Design and Calibrator Stars
Karl D. Gordon, Ralph Bohlin, G. C. Sloan +10
It is critical for James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) science that instrumental units are converted to physical units. We detail the design of the JWST absolute flux calibration pro…
The Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) on the James Webb Space Telescope III. Integral-field spectroscopy
T. Böker, S. Arribas, N. Lützgendorf +28
The Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) offers the first opportunity to use integral-field spectroscopy from space at near-infrared wavele…
