Abstract

We present a JWST imaging survey of I Zw 18, the archetypal extremely metal-poor, star-forming (SF), blue compact dwarf galaxy. With an oxygen abundance of only $\sim$3% $Z_{\odot}$, it is among the lowest-metallicity systems known in the local Universe, and is, therefore, an excellent accessible analog for the galactic building blocks which existed at early epochs of ionization and star formation. These JWST data provide a comprehensive infrared (IR) view of I Zw 18 with eight filters utilizing both Near Infrared Camera (F115W, F200W, F356W, and F444W) and Mid-Infrared Instrument (F770W, F1000W, F1500W, and F1800W) photometry, which we have used to identify key stellar populations that are bright in the near- and mid-IR. These data allow for a better understanding of the origins of dust and dust-production mechanisms in metal-poor environments by characterizing the population of massive, evolved stars in the red supergiant (RSG) and asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phases. In addition, it enables the identification of the brightest dust-enshrouded young stellar objects (YSOs), which provide insight into the formation of massive stars at extremely low metallicities typical of the very early Universe. This paper provides an overview of the observational strategy and data processing, and presents first science results, including identifications of dusty AGB, RSG, and bright YSO candidates. These first results assess the scientific quality of JWST data and provide a guide for obtaining and interpreting future observations of the dusty and evolved stars inhabiting compact dwarf SF galaxies in the local Universe., Comment: Accepted for publication in The Astronomical Journal; 25 pages, 14 figures, 4 tables

Abstract

We investigate the properties of strong (Hb+[OIII]) emitters before and after the end of the Epoch of Reionization from z=8 to z=5.5. We make use of ultra-deep JWST/NIRCam imaging in the Parallel Field of the MIRI Deep Imaging Survey (MIDIS) in the Hubble eXtreme Deep Field (P2-XDF), in order to select prominent (Hb+[OIII]) emitters (with rest EW_0 > 100 Angstroms) at z=5.5-7, based on their flux density enhancement in the F356W band with respect to the spectral energy distribution continuum. We complement our selection with other (Hb+[OIII]) emitters from the literature at similar and higher (z=7-8) redshifts. We find (non-independent) anti-correlations between EW_0(Hb+[OIII]) and both galaxy stellar mass and age, in agreement with previous studies, and a positive correlation with specific star formation rate (sSFR). On the SFR-M* plane, the (Hb+[OIII]) emitters populate both the star-formation main sequence and the starburst region, which become indistinguishable at low stellar masses (log10(M*) < 7.5). We find tentative evidence for a non-monotonic relation between EW_0(Hb+[OIII]) and SFR, such that both parameters correlate with each other at SFR > 1 Msun/yr, while the correlation flattens out at lower SFRs. This suggests that low metallicities producing high EW_0(Hb+[OIII]) could be important at low SFR values. Interestingly, the properties of the strong emitters and other galaxies (33% and 67% of our z=5.5-7 sample, respectively) are similar, including, in many cases, high sSFR. Therefore, it is crucial to consider both emitters and non-emitters to obtain a complete picture of the cosmic star formation activity around the Epoch of Reionization., Comment: 14 pages, 8 figures.

Abstract

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 space telescope with an aperture of at least $4m$. With the support of their governments in the US, Europe, and Canada, 20,000 people realized that vision as the $6.5m$ James Webb Space Telescope. A generation of astronomers will celebrate their accomplishments for the life of the mission, potentially as long as 20 years, and beyond. This report and the scientific discoveries that follow are extended thank-you notes to the 20,000 team members. The telescope is working perfectly, with much better image quality than expected. In this and accompanying papers, we give a brief history, describe the observatory, outline its objectives and current observing program, and discuss the inventions and people who made it possible. We cite detailed reports on the design and the measured performance on orbit., Comment: Accepted by PASP for the special issue on The James Webb Space Telescope Overview, 29 pages, 4 figures

Abstract

The Medium-Resolution Spectrometer (MRS) provides one of the four operating modes of the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on board the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The MRS is an integral field spectrometer, measuring the spatial and spectral distributions of light across the 5-28 $\mu m$ wavelength range with a spectral resolving power between 3700-1300. We present the MRS's optical, spectral, and spectro-photometric performance, as achieved in flight, and we report on the effects that limit the instrument's ultimate sensitivity. The MRS flight performance has been quantified using observations of stars, planetary nebulae, and planets in our Solar System. The precision and accuracy of this calibration was checked against celestial calibrators with well-known flux levels and spectral features. We find that the MRS geometric calibration has a distortion solution accuracy relative to the commanded position of 8 mas at 5 $\mu m$ and 23 mas at 28 $\mu m$. The wavelength calibration is accurate to within 9 km/sec at 5 $\mu m$ and 27 km/sec at 28 $\mu m$. The uncertainty in the absolute spectro-photometric calibration accuracy was estimated at 5.6 +- 0.7 %. The MIRI calibration pipeline is able to suppress the amplitude of spectral fringes to below 1.5 % for both extended and point sources across the entire wavelength range. The MRS point spread function (PSF) is 60 % broader than the diffraction limit along its long axis at 5 $\mu m$ and is 15 % broader at 28 $\mu m$. The MRS flight performance is found to be better than prelaunch expectations. The MRS is one of the most subscribed observing modes of JWST and is yielding many high-profile publications. It is currently humanity's most powerful instrument for measuring the mid-infrared spectra of celestial sources and is expected to continue as such for many years to come., Comment: 16 pages, 21 figures

We present here the first ever mid-infrared spectroscopic time series observation of the transiting exoplanet \object{L 168-9 b} with the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on the James Webb Space Telescope. The data were obtained as part of the MIRI commissioning activities, to characterize the performance of the Low Resolution Spectroscopy (LRS) mode for these challenging observations. To assess the MIRI LRS performance, we performed two independent analyses of the data. We find that with a single transit observation we reached a spectro-photometric precision of $\sim$50 ppm in the 7-8 \micron range at R=50, consistent with $\sim$25 ppm systematic noise. The derived band averaged transit depth is 524 $\pm$ 15 ppm and 547 $\pm$ 13 ppm for the two applied analysis methods, respectively, recovering the known transit depth to within 1 $\sigma$. The measured noise in the planet's transmission spectrum is approximately 15-20 \% higher than random noise simulations over wavelengths $6.8 \lesssim \lambda \lesssim 11$ $\mu$m. \added{We observed an larger excess noise at the shortest wavelengths of up to a factor of two, for which possible causes are discussed.} This performance was achieved with limited in-flight calibration data, demonstrating the future potential of MIRI for the characterization of exoplanet atmospheres., Comment: Accepted for publishing in PASP, 21 pages, 10 figures

Abstract

MIRI, the Mid-InfraRed Instrument, is one of four instruments being built for the James Webb Space Telescope, and is developed jointly between an EuropeanConsortium and the US. In this paper we present a software data simulator for one of MIRI's four instruments: the Integral Field Unit (IFU) Medium Resolution Spectrometer (MIRI-MRS), the first mid-infrared IFU spectrograph, and one of the first IFUs to be used in a space mission. To give the MIRI community a preview of the properties of the MIRI-MRS data products before the telescope is operational, the Specsim tool has been developed to model, in software, the operation of the spectrometer. Specsim generates synthetic data frames approximating those which will be taken by the instrument in orbit. The program models astronomical sources and generates detector frames using the predicted and measured optical properties of the telescope and MIRI. These frames can then be used to illustrate and inform a range of operational activities, including data calibration strategies and the development and testing of the data reduction software for the MIRI-MRS. Specsim will serve as a means of communication between the many consortium members by providing a way to easily illustrate the performance of the spectrometer under different circumstances, tolerances of components and design scenarios., Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures; A high resolution version is available at http://www.roe.ac.uk/~npfl/Publications/lgw+06.ps.gz (Changed URL of high-res version)

Abstract

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large (6.6m), cold (50K), infrared-optimized space observatory that will be launched early in the next decade. The observatory will have four instruments: a near-infrared camera, a near-infrared multi-object spectrograph, and a tunable filter imager will cover the wavelength range, 0.6 to 5.0 microns, while the mid-infrared instrument will do both imaging and spectroscopy from 5.0 to 29 microns. The JWST science goals are divided into four themes. The End of the Dark Ages: First Light and Reionization theme seeks to identify the first luminous sources to form and to determine the ionization history of the early universe. The Assembly of Galaxies theme seeks to determine how galaxies and the dark matter, gas, stars, metals, morphological structures, and active nuclei within them evolved from the epoch of reionization to the present day. The Birth of Stars and Protoplanetary Systems theme seeks to unravel the birth and early evolution of stars, from infall on to dust-enshrouded protostars to the genesis of planetary systems. The Planetary Systems and the Origins of Life theme seeks to determine the physical and chemical properties of planetary systems including our own, and investigate the potential for the origins of life in those systems. To enable these observations, JWST consists of a telescope, an instrument package, a spacecraft and a sunshield. The telescope consists of 18 beryllium segments, some of which are deployed. The segments will be brought into optical alignment on-orbit through a process of periodic wavefront sensing and control. The JWST operations plan is based on that used for previous space observatories, and the majority of JWST observing time will be allocated to the international astronomical community through annual peer-reviewed proposal opportunities., Comment: 96 pages, including 48 figures and 15 tables, accepted by Space Science Reviews

Abstract

MIRI, the Mid-InfraRed Instrument, is one of four instruments being built for the James Webb Space Telescope. It is being developed jointly between an European Consortium (21 institutes from 10 countries, under the auspices of ESA), and the US. MIRI consists of an imager, a coronograph, a low-resolution spectrograph, and an Integral Field Unit (IFU) Medium Resolution Spectrometer (MIRI-MRS). The latter will be the first mid-infrared IFU spectrograph, and one of the first IFUs to be used in a space mission. To give the MIRI community a preview of the properties of the MIRI-MRS data products before the telescope is operational, the Specsim tool has been developed to model, in software, the operation of the spectrometer. Specsim generates synthetic data frames approximating those which will be taken by the instrument in orbit. The program models astronomical sources and transforms them into detector frames using the predicted optical properties of the telescope and MIRI. These frames can then be used to illustrate and inform a range of operational activities, including data calibration strategies and the development and testing of the data reduction software for the MIRI-MRS. Specsim will serve as a means of communication between the many consortium members by providing a way to easily illustrate the performance of the spectrometer under different circumstances, tolerances of components and design scenarios., Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures; contribution to the proceedings of ADASS XV 2-5 October, 2005

Abstract

We present the highest spatial and spectral resolution near-infrared data to date of the $\sim~10^{13}~h^{-2}~L_{\sun}$ {\sl IRAS} source FSC 15307+3252 at $z = 0.93$, apparently the most luminous galaxy in the known Universe. Deep $K$-band (2.2 \micron) images taken in 0\farcs4 seeing at the W.\ M.\ Keck Telescope reveal three components within 2\arcsec. The dominant component has a surface brightness profile well-characterized by an $r^{1/4}$ law and a nucleus which is stellar in appearance with extended structure, possibly a second nucleus $\sim$~0\farcs5 away. Our 1.1--1.4~\micron\ spectrum shows strong emission lines of \oi\ \lam\lam6300, 6364; blended \ha~+~\nii\ \lam\lam6548, 6583; and \sii\ \lam\lam6716, 6731 with characteristics of Seyfert 2 galaxies. The \ha\ line also has a broad (1900 km~s$^{-1}$) component. In light of the recent discovery that FSC 10214+4724, previously the most luminous known galaxy, is a gravitationally-lensed system, we explore the possibility that F15307 is also lensed. Quantitative arguments are inconclusive, but aspects of F15307's morphology do suggest lensing; the system bears a strong resemblance to quadruple-image gravitational lenses. On the other hand, given the $r^{1/4}$ profile, the close companions, and the active nucleus, F15307 may in fact be a giant elliptical galaxy caught in the act of galactic cannibalism, a scenario which could also account for its unparalleled luminosity., Comment: AASTeX, 24 pages (19 text and 5 Postscript figures).

Abstract

Context. The Medium Resolution integral field Spectrometer (MRS) of the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on board the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) performs spectroscopy between 5 and 28 µm, with a field of view varying from ~13 to ~56 sq. arcsec. The optics of the MRS introduce substantial distortion and this needs to be rectified in order to reconstruct the observed astrophysical scenario. Aims. We aim to use data from the JWST/MIRI commissioning and cycle 1 calibration phase to derive the MRS geometric distortion and astrometric solution, a critical step in the calibration of MRS data. These solutions come in the form of transform matrices that map the detector pixels to spatial coordinates of a local MRS coordinate system called α/β, to the global JWST observatory coordinates V2 and V3 (V2+V3). Methods. For every MRS spectral band and each slice dispersed on the detector, we fit the transform of detector pixels to α/β by a two-dimensional (2D) polynomial, using a raster of point source observations. The dispersed trace of the point source on the detector was initially estimated by fitting a one-dimensional (1D) empirical function and then iterating on the first distortion solution using forward modelling of the point spread function model based on the webbpsf python package. A polynomial transform was used to map the coordinates from α/β to V2+V3. Results. We calibrated the distortion of all 198 discrete slices of the MIRI/MRS integral field units and derived an updated field of view (FoV) for each MRS spectral band. The precision of the distortion solution is estimated to be better than one-tenth of a spatial resolution element, with a root mean square (rms) of 10 milli-arc-second (mas) at 5 µm, to 23 mas at 27 µm. Finally, we found that the wheel positioning repeatability causes an additional astrometric rms error of 30 mas. Conclusions. We demonstrate the application of the MRS astrometric calibration strategy and analysis for all four integral field units and all spectral bands of the MRS that enable the calibration of MRS spectra. This is a critical step in the data pipeline of every MRS observation. The distortion calibration was folded into the JWST pipeline in the Calibration Reference Data System (CRDS) context (jwst_1094.pmap), meeting the pre-launch requirement, with an estimated total astrometric uncertainty of 50 mas.

21. Variability of near-infrared emission lines in NGC 4151 - Implications for nuclear star formation

Author

Prestwich, Andrea H, Wright, Gillian S, and Joseph, Robert D

Subjects
Astrophysics
Abstract

Multiaperture infrared spectra of the circumnuclear region of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151 taken over a 10 year period show that the N = 7-4 B-gamma hydrogen recombination line is variable. The H2 quadrupole line emission shows no sign of variability. It is shown that there is a substantial contribution to the nuclear B-gamma flux from the active nucleus, making it impossible to determine star formation rates from infrared hydrogen recombination lines in active galaxies. The lack of variability in the H2 line fluxes indicates that ionizing photons from the active nucleus is not important in exciting the molecular line emission.

Abstract

The cryogenic infrared camera, IRCAM, has been operating routinely on the 3.8 m UK Infrared Telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii for over two years. The camera, which uses a 62x58 element Indium Antimonide array from Santa Barbara Research Center, was designed and built at the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh which operates UKIRT on behalf of the UK Science and Engineering Research Council. Over the past two years at least 60% of the available time on UKIRT has been allocated for IRCAM observations. Described here are some of the properties of this instrument and its detector which influence astronomical performance. Observational techniques and the power of IR arrays with some recent astronomical results are discussed.
