Claims

C1strongest claim

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=500-1340 or R=1320-3600) grating spectroscopy over 0.7-5.2 μm, both in single-object mode employing any one of five fixed slits, or a 3.1×3.2 arcsec² integral field unit, or in multiobject mode employing a novel programmable micro-shutter device covering a 3.6×3.4 arcmin² field of view.

C2weakest assumption

The faint-end spectrophotometric sensitivity and its dependency on the energetic particle environment that the two detector arrays are likely to be subjected to in orbit, which relies on pre-launch models and testing rather than in-flight verification.

C3one line summary

NIRSpec enables low- to high-resolution near-infrared spectroscopy from 0.6 to 5.3 microns on JWST in single-object, integral-field, and multi-object modes with a novel micro-shutter array.
