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…
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…
Discovery of dusty sub-solar mass young stellar objects in NGC 346 with JWST/NIRCam
Olivia C. Jones, Conor Nally, Nolan Habel +23
JWST observations of NGC 346, a star-forming region in the metal-poor Small Magellanic Cloud, reveal a substantial population of sub-solar mass young stellar objects (YSOs) with IR…
Spectroscopic Time-series Performance of JWST/NIRSpec from Commissioning Observations
Néstor Espinoza, Leonardo Úbeda, Stephan M. Birkmann +22
We report on JWST commissioning observations of the transiting exoplanet HAT-P-14 b, obtained using the Bright Object Time Series (BOTS) mode of the NIRSpec instrument with the G39…
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 Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) on the James Webb Space Telescope IV. Capabilities and predicted performance for exoplanet characterization
S. M. Birkmann, P. Ferruit, G. Giardino +31
The Near-Inrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a very versatile instrument, offering multiobject and integral field spectroscopy with varying s…
The Pan-STARRS1 Surveys
K. C. Chambers, E. A. Magnier, N. Metcalfe +123
Pan-STARRS1 has carried out a set of distinct synoptic imaging sky surveys including the Steradian Survey and the Medium Deep Survey in 5 bands (). The mean 5 p…
The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph: On-Orbit Instrument Performance
S. Osterman, J. Green, C. Froning +31
The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) was installed in the Hubble Space Telescope in May, 2009 as part of Servicing Mission 4 to provide high sensitivity, medium and low resolution…
A "Combination Nova" Outburst in Z Andromedae: Nuclear Shell Burning Triggered by a Disk Instability
J. L. Sokoloski, S. J. Kenyon, B. R. Espey +11
We describe observational evidence for a new kind of interacting-binary-star outburst that involves both an accretion instability and an increase in thermonuclear shell burning on…
A New Kind of Nova
J. L. Sokoloski, S. J. Kenyon, A. K. H. Kong +10
We performed extensive, multi-wavelength observations of the prototypical symbiotic star Z Andromedae between 2000 and 2003, during a large eruption. The rise to optical maximum oc…
Outbursts of Classical Symbiotics: Multi-Wavelength Observations of the 2000-2001 Outburst of Z Andromedae
J. L. Sokoloski, S. J. Kenyon, A. K. H. Kong +11
We describe the first results from a program of multi-wavelength monitoring of symbiotic binary stars in outburst. The prototypical symbiotic star Z Andromedae was observed extensi…
The Continuing Slow Decline of AG Pegasi
Scott J. Kenyon, Daniel Proga, Charles D. Keyes
We analyze optical and ultraviolet observations of the symbiotic binary AG Pegasi acquired during 1992-97. The bolometric luminosity of the hot component declined by a factor of 2-…
