JWST/MIRI Data Reduction and Products
Abstract
The Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) is one of four science instruments to be flown aboard the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). MIRI operates from 5 to 28.5 microns and provides a suite of versatile capabilities including imaging, low-resolution spectroscopy (LRS), medium-resolution spectroscopy (MRS) via an integral field unit, and coronagraphy. The MIRI pipeline consists of three stages: 1) Raw to Slope Images, 2) Calibrated Slope Images, and 3) Multiple Exposures Combined. The pipeline is designed to provide well-calibrated, high level data products that maximize the scientific return from the instrument.
