MIRI Medium Resolution Spectrograph Archives

Binned 5.2 µm slice of the PSF subtracted spectral cube showing the extended emission from hot dust. We apply an image normalization where vmin = −200 MJy/sr and vmax = 800 MJy/sr to emphasize emission from a spatially extended disk. The purple line shows a 5σ contour of the dust emission, the red circle shows the angular resolution of Spitzer at 5 µm (assuming it is diffraction limited) and the black circle shows the extraction aperture used for the MRS. The red cross shows the location of the central star. -- astro-ph.EP

MIRI MRS Observations Of Beta Pictoris I. The Inner Dust, The Planet, And The Gas

by Keith CowingJanuary 31, 2024January 30, 2024

We present JWST MIRI Medium Resolution Spectrograph (MRS) observations of the β Pictoris system. We detect an infrared excess from the central unresolved point source from 5 to 7.5 μm […]
