Use MIRISim to Create Simulated JWST MIRI Data
Scientists who are interested in mid-infrared observations with JWST can now use MIRISim to generate their own simulated observations.

The coronagraphic capabilities provided by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will reveal faint structures otherwise hidden by the glare of a bright point source.
The MIRI imager and Medium-Resolution Spectrometer (MRS) can be operated simultaneously, resulting in more accurate construction of the MRS data cube and bonus observations of a nearby field.
This past winter, the JWST Integrated Systems Instrument Module (ISIM) underwent its third and final round of testing in a "Space Environment Simulator'' at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD.
