The James Webb Space Telescope Mission

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: greenSpace 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 ...

The James Webb Space Telescope Data Calibration Pipeline [PDF]

open access: hybridProceedings of the Python in Science Conference, 2015
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and is currently expected to be launched in late 2018. The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) is developing the software systems that will be used to provide routine calibration of the science data received from JWST.

Titan Science with the James Webb Space Telescope [PDF]

open access: yesPublications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2016
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), scheduled for launch in 2018, is the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) but with a significantly larger aperture (6.5 m) and advanced instrumentation focusing on infrared science (0.6-28.0 $μ$m ). In this paper we examine the potential for scientific investigation of Titan using JWST, primarily with ...

Science with the James Webb space telescope [PDF]

open access: yesSPIE Proceedings, 2006
The science objectives of the James Webb Space Telescope fall 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 universe. The Assembly of Galaxies theme seeks to determine how galaxies and the dark matter, gas, stars, metals,

PACMan2: Next Steps in Proposal Review Management

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
With the start of a new Great Observatories era, there is renewed concern that the demand for these forefront facilities, through proposal pressure, will exceed conventional peer-review management’s capacity for ensuring an unbiased and efficient ...
