Scientific paper

MIRI, the mid-IR instrument of JWST (James Webb Space Telescope), will include a coronagraphic device for which the ultimate goal is the detection and characterization of extrasolar planets around nearby stars. In this paper, we describe the optical concept of MIRI and the instrumental choices that were made in phase A and B regarding the coronagraphic system. Finally, we will present numerical simulations that we carried out to evaluate the capability for detecting extrasolar giant gaseous planets.
