The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) incorporates a redesigned mode for single-object grism spectroscopy using the NIRISS instrument. This new capability aims to study exoplanets around bright stars by observing their eclipses and extracting their spectra. Utilizing medium-resolution grism, the system achieves a resolution varying from ~300 to ~800 in the first order, covering wavelengths from 0.6 to 3 μm. Controlling systematic effects is pivotal for the successful extraction of high-quality exoplanet spectra, enhancing our understanding of these distant worlds.

Transcription de la présentation
  1. JWST FGS Single-Object Slitless Spectroscopy with NIRISS Kevin Volk, STScI/ HIA With help from Loïc Albert (U. Montreal) TIPS Meeting, 18 April 2013

  2. Single-Object Grism Spectroscopy • In mid-2011 the TFI instrument was re-designed to NIRISS, and at that time a grism mode specific to exo-planet spectroscopy around bright stars was added. Unlike normal grism modes, it is intended for single objects. The goal is to observe stars known to have exo-planets in-eclipse and out-of-eclipse, and take the difference to extract the exo-planet spectrum. • A medium-resolution grism is used, with a prism to separate the orders: note that no blocking filter is used. • Estimated resolution λ/Δλ varies from ~300 to ~800 in 1st order, from 0.6 to 3 μm. • Control of systematic effects is going to be important for the exo-planet science.

  7. The cross-dispersion direction is always (close to) along the y axis. Hence it is not perpendicular to the trace direction. order 0

  8. For brighter objects a 2048×256 pixel sub-array will be used to speed up the read-out. For the brightest objects a 2048×80 pixel sub-array will be used, sacrificing wavelength coverage for fast read-out. TIPS 18 April 2013

  11. Final Remarks • The SOSS mode provides a unique and powerful capability for JWST exo-planet observations. • First light through the instrument will be later this year during ISIM CV1RR testing (nominally in the early fall). • Calibration of this mode will be challenging, particularly in terms of working to reduce the systematic effects – i.e. pixel-to-pixel variations, non-linearity effects, persistence, etc. – to achieve very high S/N in a series of spectra over a period of order 10 hours.
