Design and Preliminary Ground Experiment for Deployable Sunshade Structures of a Modular Space Telescope [PDF]

open access: yesSensors
On-orbit assembling space telescope (OAST) is one of the most feasible methods to implement a large-scale space telescope. Unlike a monolithic space telescope (such as Hubble Space Telescope, HST) or a deployable space telescope (such as James Webb Space

The James Webb Space Telescope Mission [PDF]

open access: yesPublications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2023
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 4 m.

The James Webb Space Telescope [PDF]

open access: yesSpace Science Reviews, 2006
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 ...

High-redshift JWST Observations and Primordial Non-Gaussianity

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Several bright and massive galaxy candidates at high redshifts have been recently observed by the James Webb Space Telescope. Such early massive galaxies seem difficult to reconcile with standard Λ cold dark matter model predictions.

Confirmation of Subsolar Metallicity for WASP-77Ab from JWST Thermal Emission Spectroscopy

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We present the dayside thermal emission spectrum of WASP-77Ab from 2.8 to 5.2 μ m as observed with the NIRSpec instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). WASP-77Ab was previously found to have a subsolar metallicity and a solar carbon-to-oxygen
