| Abstract: |
The James Webb Space Telescope will have a multi-object spectroscopic (MOS)
capability as part of its Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec). This mode
will enable observations of up to ∼ 100 or more objects in a single
exposure using a microshutter array containing a quarter-million
independently operable shutters. The complexity of this data requires
a robust and carefully constructed processing pipeline that can deliver
well-calibrated and intelligently-organized data to the user. Here I describe
the basic processing steps that will be part of the pipeline, including
how we will account for problematic aspects including wavelength calibration
and background subtraction. I also outline the expected format of the pipeline
data products that will be delivered, and how the data can be handled
interactively using data analysis and visualization tools that will also
be provided. |
