Simulating observations of transiting exoplanets with JWST/MIRI including instrumental systematics
Abstract
The launch and commissioning of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in 2021 will provide game-changing astronomical observations, in particular for exoplanets. To familiarize the community with data soon after the launch of the JWST, an Early Release Science program (ERS) has been developed, including observations of transiting exoplanets. These observations include a complete phase curve of WASP43b with the JWST Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI). Data challenges will be organized before the science program begins, to be well prepared for the data analysis. In that frame, we have developed tools to simulate MIRI transiting exoplanet observations, including instrumental systematics, and applied them to the ERS observation of WASP43-b.
