JWST data simulations

Simulated JWST data: https://www.stsci.edu/jwst/science-planning/proposal-planning-toolbox/simulated-data

Simulated extragalactic blank field images:

• by JADES team with Guitarra: https://fenrir.as.arizona.edu/jaguar/

• by CEERS with MIRAGE: https://ceers.github.io/releases.html

My plan below is to simulate:

• cluster lensing field with MIRAGE:

I plan to provide Python notebooks to go from:

HST imaging –> JWST simulated data (NIRCam + NIRSpec)

HST images

• HST catalog notebook (Astropy.photutils)

• Sersic fits notebook (Astropy.modeling)

• HST SED fitting + photo-z notebook (BAGPIPES, BPASS, CLOUDY)

Additional simulated galaxies (fainter / higher redshift than found in HST images)

• http://flathub.flatironinstitute.org – CANDELS (Aaron Yung SAMs)

• Lensed by galaxy cluster lens model

JWST data

• MIRAGE simulated NIRCam image data

• Pandeia synthetic NIRSpec spectra

• JWST reduction pipeline notebooks

JWST data analysis

• Color image notebook (Trilogy)

• Object detection + photometry notebook

  • also impelement more sophisticated detections (Bhatawdekar & Conselice 2019, 2021) and photometry (The Farmer: Weaver+ 2021)

• NIRCam SED fitting + photo-z notebook (BAGPIPES, BPASS, CLOUDY)

• Spectroscopy analysis notebook

JWST results

• Detection completeness

• Photometric redshifts

• Stellar masses, ages, etc.

• Luminosity functions
