Project 2: Thermal Emission Studies with JWST. I am a JWST Mid-infrared Instrument (MIRI) Scientist with Guaranteed Time Observations in Cycle 1. I have reserved MIRI Medium Resolution Spectrograph (MRS) observations of three nearby, interesting archetypal debris disk systems: beta Pictoris, eta Crv, and eta Tel. The MIRI MRS is an integral field spectrograph that provides mid-infrared spectra (5-30 micron) where silicate dust features and atomic and molecular gas features lie. All three systems have silicate emission features that were detected using the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph and cold CO gas detected using ALMA. Thus, some of the science goals for this program include searching for changes in the silicate properties since the Spitzer observations and conducting the first sensitive search for terrestrial temperature volatile gas.
