Abstract

We provide an overview of the design and capabilities of the near-infrared spectrograph (NIRSpec) onboard the James Webb Space Telescope. NIRSpec is designed to be capable of carrying out low-resolution ( R = 30−330) prism spectroscopy over the wavelength range 0.6–5.3 μm and higher resolution ( R =...
