Empirical Modeling of Zodiacal Backgrounds to Improve JWST NIRISS/SOSS Data Reduction
Tyler Baines, Aarynn Carter, Néstor Espinoza +3
Zodiacal light -- arising from both the thermal emission and scattered sunlight by interplanetary dust -- is the dominant component of the sky background in NIRISS Single Object Sl…
Effects of Jump Detection and Ramp Fitting Algorithms on NIRISS/SOSS Exoplanet Time-Series Observations
Aarynn Carter, Néstor Espinoza, Loïc Albert +4
Jump detection and ramp fitting are fundamental steps when elevating JWST data products from up-the-ramp measurements to integration level count rate images. Occurring at an early…
JWST 1.5 μm and 4.8 μm Photometry of Y Dwarfs
Loïc Albert, Sandy K. Leggett, Per Calissendorff +20
Brown dwarfs lack nuclear fusion and cool with time; the coldest known have an effective temperature below 500 K, and are known as Y dwarfs. We present a James Webb Space Telescope…
The James Webb Interferometer: Space-based interferometric detections of PDS 70 b and c at 4.8 m
Dori Blakely, Doug Johnstone, Gabriele Cugno +22
We observed the planet-hosting system PDS 70 with the James Webb Interferometer, JWST's Aperture Masking Interferometric (AMI) mode within NIRISS. Observing with the F480M filter c…
