MIRI Sensitivity


The MIRI science team has provided the following tables for the MIRI photometric and spectrograph sensitivities. All estimates assume a low zodiacal background (important below 10 microns), a point source, and 10 sigma measurement after 10,000s.

Low resolution spectroscopy
(5-10 microns)
3000 nJy at 7.5 microns

Medium resolution spectroscopy
(IFU, 10,000s per setting)
Lamda (Microns) Line Flux (W/m^2)
6.4 7.00E-21
9.2 1.00E-20
14.5 1.20E-20
22.5 6.00E-20
