一句话总结

本文呈现了在 HUDF 中最深的 JWST/NIRSpec MOS 光谱,提供了 178 颗星系的红移(最高到 z=13.2)以及来自 253 个目标的发射线目录,伴随公开数据发布。

ABSTRACT

We describe the NIRSpec component of the JWST Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES), and provide deep spectroscopy of 253 sources targeted with the NIRSpec micro-shutter assembly in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field and surrounding GOODS-South. The multi-object spectra presented here are the deepest so far obtained with JWST, amounting to up to 28 hours in the low-dispersion ($R\sim 30-300$) prism, and up to 7 hours in each of the three medium-resolution $R\approx 1000$ gratings and one high-dispersion grating, G395H ($R\approx2700$). Our low-dispersion and medium-dispersion spectra cover the wavelength range $0.6-5.3μ$m. We describe the selection of the spectroscopic targets, the strategy for the allocation of targets to micro-shutters, and the design of the observations. We present the public release of the reduced 2D and 1D spectra, and a description of the reduction and calibration process. We measure spectroscopic redshifts for 178 of the objects targeted extending up to $z=13.2$. We present a catalog of all emission lines detected at $S/N>5$, and our redshift determinations for the targets. Combined with the first JADES NIRCam data release, these public JADES spectroscopic and imaging datasets provide a new foundation for discoveries of the infrared universe by the worldwide scientific community.

研究动机与目标

  • 描述在 HUDF 及其周围 GOODS-South 区域的 NIRSpec MOS 观测。
  • 提供深层光谱数据以及已处理的 2D/1D 光谱的公开发布。
  • 为目标对象测量光谱红移并汇总发射线通量。
  • 概述目标选择、MSA 分配以及数据降低/校准过程。

提出的方法

  • 使用 NIRSpec MOS,采用棱镜(R~30-300)及中/高分辨率光栅(R~1000,~2700),覆盖 0.6–5.3 μm。
  • 通过 eMPT 软件分配目标,以在 MSA 快门内最大化高优先级覆盖。
  • 计划三个抖动指向,以最大化曝光时间并降低探测器缺陷。
  • 对光谱进行降噪和标定,生成公开可用的 2D 和 1D 数据产品。
  • 从低/中色散数据中推导显著发射线的红移和通量。
