Solar System Observations with the James Webb Space Telescope
The James Webb Space Telescope will enable a wealth of new scientific investigations in the nearand midinfrared, with sensitivity and spatial/spectral resolution greatly surpassing its predecessors. In this paper, we focus upon Solar System science facilitated by JWST, discussing the most current information available concerning JWST instrument properties and observing techniques relevant to pl...
متن کاملJWST Planetary Observations within the Solar System
JWST provides capabilities unmatched by other telescopic facilities in the near to mid infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Its combination of broad wavelength range, high sensitivity and near diffraction-limited imaging around two microns wavelength make it a high value facility for a variety of Solar System targets. Beyond Neptune, a class of cold, large bodies that include Pluto, T...
متن کاملJWST Study of Planetary Systems and Solar System Objects
Determination of the physical and chemical properties of planetary systems is the main objective of the planetary systems and the origins of life scientific theme of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This white paper summarizes the mission’s capabilities for direct detection and study of exoplanets and circumstellar material (>0.1” from parent star), planets and other objects in our own So...
متن کاملExoPTF Whitepaper Coronagraphic Detection of Exosolar Planets with JWST
2. JWST Instrument Complement JWST is not primarily designed to conduct coronagraphic observations. It’s segmented mirror telescope architecture, as shown in Figure 1, generates considerable additional diffraction structure in the telescope’s point spread function compared to that of a monolithic mirror. The JWST project has set a performance requirement of diffraction limited imaging at 2 μm. ...
متن کاملPrimary and secondary eclipse spectroscopy with JWST: exploring the exoplanet parameter space
Context. During the past few years, eclipse exoplanet spectroscopy has enabled the detection of H2O, CH4, CO2, and CO in the atmosphere of hot jupiters and neptunes. At the same time, ∼40 likely large terrestrial planets are announced or confirmed. Two of these are transiting, and another is deemed habitable. Therefore the potential for eclipse spectroscopy of terrestrial planets with the James...
