The Science Performance of JWST as Characterized in Commissioning

This paper characterizes the actual science performance of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), as determined from the six month commissioning period. We summarize the performance of the spacecraft, telescope, science instruments, and ground system, with an emphasis on differences from pre-launch expectations. Commissioning has made clear that JWST is fully capable of achieving the discoveries for which it was built. Moreover, almost across the board, the science performance of JWST is better than expected; in most cases, JWST will go deeper faster than expected. The telescope and instrument suite have demonstrated the sensitivity, stability, image quality, and spectral range that are necessary to transform our understanding of the cosmos through observations spanning from near-earth asteroids to the most distant galaxies.Comment: 5th version as accepted to PASP; 31 pages, 18 figures; https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1538-3873/acb29

CONSTRUCTING GEOLOGICAL CROSS-SECTIONS TO CONSTRAIN THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL STRATIGRAPHIC ARCHITECTURE OF THE JEZERO DELTA FRONT

International audienceThe NASA Mars2020 rover Perseverance has been traversing series that represent the transition from crater floor lithologies to deposits of the Jezero western delta since Sol 422 of rover operations [1]. During that time, the mission has explored the exposed stratigraphic succession at the delta front, named the Shenandoah formation [2]. Here we analyse Mastcam-Z mosaics and 3D data products derived from Planetary Robotics processing and viewing tools (PRoViP and PRo3D [3]) to map the 3D geometry of key stratigraphic boundaries and document the 3D stratigraphic architecture at the sub-km- to m-scale within the Shenandoah formation
