MIRAGE GRISMC Simulations
These images were created using the MIRAGE simulator in NIRCam's GRISMC configuration. GRISMC disperses the spectra vertically on the detector, along the detector columns. This is a possible alternate configuration for time-series observations with NIRCam that is not currently implemented. We expect that GRISMC will show less 1/f noise than GRISMR (Schlawin et al. 2020). This 1/f noise is caused by uncorrected, correlated, read noise on the detector that occurs along detector rows.
