Community notes
According to James Webb Space Telescope official documentation (cfr. [url]https://jwst-docs.stsci.edu/jwst-mid-infrared-instrument[/url]) the JWST Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) provides imaging and spectroscopic observing modes from 4.9 to 27.9 μm. These wavelengths can be utilized for studies including, but not limited to: direct imaging of young warm exoplanets and spectroscopy of their atmospheres; identification and characterization of the first galaxies at redshifts z > 7; and analysis of warm dust and molecular gas in young stars and proto-planetary disks.MIRI imaging filter curves and wavelenght are resumed below[url=https://jwst-docs.stsci.edu/files/97977500/97977515/1/1596073094043/MIRI_IMAGING2.png][img]https://jwst-docs.stsci.edu/files/97977500/97977515/1/1596073094043/MIRI_IMAGING2.png[/img][/url][b][b]MIRI imaging filter curves[/b][/b] – https://jwst-docs.stsci.edu/jwst-mid-infrared-instrument, figure 3 [url=https://jwst-docs.stsci.edu/files/97977500/97977514/1/1596073094002/MIRI_CORONAGRAPHY2.png][img]https://jwst-docs.stsci.edu/files/97977500/97977514/1/1596073094002/MIRI_CORONAGRAPHY2.png[/img][/url][b][b]MIRI coronagraphic imaging filter curves[/b][/b] – https://jwst-docs.stsci.edu/jwst-mid-infrared-instrument, figure 4
