Scientific paper

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was conceived as the scientific successor to the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and Spitzer Space Telescope. The instrument suite provides broad wavelength coverage and capabilities aimed at four key science themes: 1) The end of the dark ages: first light and reionization, 2) The assembly of galaxies, 3) The birth of stars and protoplanetary systems, and 4) Planetary systems and the origins of life. To accomplish these ambitious goals, JWST's detectors provide state-of-the-art performance spanning the λ = 0.6-28 μm wavelength range. In this paper, we describe JWST with an emphasis on its infrared detectors.
