With the alignment of the telescope's optical system and instruments, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) team is now commissioning four powerful scientific instruments at the observatory On the way to preparing for the scientific work that began this summer, the team now needs to examine 17 different instrument "modes"
After all 17 models are approved, NASA's Weber space telescope can start scientific operation.
It is understood that these 17 modes are NIRCam imaging, NIRCam wide field seamless spectroscopy, NIRCam coronary angiography, NIRCam time series observation imaging, NIRCam time series observation grating, nirspec multi-target spectroscopy, nirspec fixed gap spectroscopy, nirspec integral field unit spectrometer, nirspec bright object time series Near infrared imager and seamless spectrometer (niriss) single object seamless spectrometer, niriss wide area seamless spectrometer, niriss aperture masking interferometry, niriss imaging, mid infrared instrument (MIRI) imaging, Miri low resolution spectroscopy, Miri medium resolution spectroscopy, Miri canopy imaging.
The research team said that for each model, they also selected a representative example of scientific objectives, which they will observe in the first year of Weber science. Each model will be used for many goals, and most of Weber's scientific goals will be observed with more than one instrument and / or model.
