TEMPLATES will obtain JWST spectra of four gravitationally lensed galaxies. The pictures show these galaxies as seen by HST/ALMA.

Overview

 

The TEMPLATES program is designed to obtain high signal-to-noise NIRSpec and MIRI IFU spectroscopy, with accompanying imaging, for 4 gravitationally lensed galaxies at 1<z<4. This program aims to spatially resolve the star formation in galaxies across the peak of cosmic star formation, in an extinction-robust manner. Lensing magnification pushes JWST to the highest spatial resolutions possible at these redshifts, to map the key spectral diagnostics of star formation and dust extinction: H-alpha, Pa-alpha, and 3.3um PAH within individual distant galaxies. The targets are among the brightest, best-characterized lensed systems known, and span a wide range of specific star formation rate, extinction, and luminosity. They have extensive ancillary datasets. The TEMPLATES science goals are: 1) demonstrate extinction-robust star formation rate diagnostics for distant galaxies; 2) determine the physical scales of star formation in distant galaxies, in an extinction-robust way; 3) measure specific star formation rates and compare the spatial distribution of the young and old stars; and 4) measure the physical conditions of star formation and their spatial variation.

This program uses key instrument modes, heavily exercising the NIRSpec and MIRI IFUs. The resulting science-enabling data products demonstrate JWST’s capabilities and provide the extragalactic science community with rich datasets. In four deliveries, the team will provide high-quality Level 3 data cubes and mosaics, empirical star formation diagnostics, maps of star formation, extinction, and physical properties, a tool for comparing NIRSpec and MIRI data cubes, and cookbooks on data reduction, analysis, and calibration strategy.

The high level science products (HLSPs) will be released in several steps:

  • Early release:
    • Delivery 1:  Existing lens models; high-level HST, Spitzer, and ALMA data
    • Delivery 1a: Simulated raw and science-ready JWST data; pipeline cookbook; improved lens models
  • Post launch releases:
    • Delivery 2: L+10 months. Level 3 data products and cookbooks; plot of SNR versus surface brightness for IFUs
    • Delivery 3: L+13 months. High-level science products: maps of H alpha, emission line ratios, extinction, source-plane reconstructions, SED fits
    • Delivery 4: L+19 months. Clean-up delivery of improved data products

Data Products

All TEMPLATES files are organized into directories with the following structure:

<target>/<product>

where:

  • <target> is the target name, one of "sdssj1226p2152", "sdssJ1723p3411", "spt0418-47" or "spt2147-50".
  • <product> is the product type, one of "hst", "spitzer", "alma" or "lens_models".

HST Data

Image mosaics for each target from HST are named according to the following convention:

hlsp_templates_hst_<inst>_<target>_<filter>_v1_<type>.fits

where:

  • <inst> is the instrument, one of "acs" or "wfc3".
  • <target> is the target name.
  • <filter> is the filter name.
  • <type> is the type of image file, either science ("drc-sci", "drz-sci"), weight map ("drz-wht"), or PSF ("psf").

Data file types:

_drc-sci.fits Drizzled HST science image
_drc-sci.fits Drizzled HST science image with charge transfer efficiency correction
_drz-wht.fits Drizzled HST weight image
_psf.fits HST point spread function (PSF) file

Spitzer Data

Image mosaics from Spitzer for SDSS J1226+2152 and SDSS J1723+3411 are grouped into folders named by the IRAC channel ("irac_ch1/" and "irac_ch2/") and named according to the following convention:

hlsp_templates_spitzer_irac_<target>_<channel>_v1_<type>.fits

where:

  • <target> is the target name, one of "sdssj1226p2152" or "sdssJ1723p3411".
  • <channel> is the Spitzer/IRAC channel name, one of "ch1" or "ch2".
  • <type> is the type of image file, one of "mosaic", "mosaic-unc" or "mosaic-cov".

Data file types:

-mosaic.fits

Outlier-rejected mosaicked Spitzer image

-mosaic-cov.fits

Coverage depth — number of good Spitzer exposures that were used in each pixel

-mosaic-unc.fits One sigma uncertainty on the Spitzer image

ALMA Data

Dust continuum images from ALMA are named according to the following convention:

hlsp_templates_alma_alma_<target>_<wavelength>_v1_cont-<resolution>-image.fits

where:

  • <target> is the target name, one of "sdssj1226p2152" or "sdssJ1723p3411".
  • <wavelength> is the rest wavelength.
  • <resolution> is the resolution of the synthesized beam.

Data file types:

-image.fits

ALMA dust continuum image without primary beam correction

-image-pbcor.fits

ALMA dust continuum image with primary beam correction
