Wide field Slitless Spectroscopy with JWST's MIRI
Andreea Petric, Sarah Kendrew, David Law +12
We present a snapshot of the ongoing efforts to obtain background-subtracted, wavelength-, and flux-calibrated spectra taken with the new Wide-Field Slitless Spectroscopy (WFSS) mo…
Enhancing the performance and capabilities of the MIRI instrument on JWST
S. Kendrew, M. Engesser, K. Rowlands +23
MIRI, the Mid-Infrared Instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope, is the only instrument sensitive to wavelengths longward of 5 um on the observatory. In this regime, MIRI bring…
The James Webb Space Telescope Absolute Flux Calibration. II. Mid-Infrared Instrument Imaging and Coronagraphy
Karl D. Gordon, G. C. Sloan, Macarena Garcia Marin +11
The absolute flux calibration of the Mid-Infrared Instrument Imaging and Coronagraphy is based on observations of multiple stars taken during the first 2.5 years of JWST operations…
The James Webb Space Telescope Mission
Jonathan P. Gardner, John C. Mather, Randy Abbott +1004
Twenty-six years ago a small committee report, building on earlier studies, expounded a compelling and poetic vision for the future of astronomy, calling for an infrared-optimized…
JWST/NIRCam Coronagraphy: Commissioning and First On-Sky Results
Julien H. Girard, Jarron Leisenring, Jens Kammerer +53
In a cold and stable space environment, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST or "Webb") reaches unprecedented sensitivities at wavelengths beyond 2 microns, serving most fields of…
StraKLIP: A novel pipeline for detection and characterization of close-in faint companions through Karhunen-Loêve Image Processing algorithm
Giovanni M. Strampelli, Laurent Pueyo, Jonathan Aguilar +3
We present a new pipeline developed to detect and characterize faint astronomical companions at small angular separation from the host star using sets of wide-field imaging observa…
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…
Archival Legacy Investigations of Circumstellar Environments (ALICE): Statistical assessment of point source detections
É. Choquet, L. Pueyo, R. Soummer +5
The ALICE program, for Archival Legacy Investigation of Circumstellar Environment, is currently conducting a virtual survey of about 400 stars, by re-analyzing the HST-NICMOS coron…
