Abstract

Galaxy Evolution with NIRISS Slitless Spectroscopy

Chris Willott (NRC-Herzberg)

NIRISS Instrument Science Team

I will describe use of the wide-field slitless spectroscopy mode of NIRISS for studies of galaxy evolution. This mode provides high-multiplex spectroscopy of both emission lines and broad absorption features. I will present the NIRISS Guaranteed Time Observing plan for a slitless survey to address several key JWST science topics.
