  • A. Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph
    The Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (NIRISS) is a James Webb Space Telescope instrument designed for high-sensitivity near-infrared imaging and spectroscopy, particularly suited for exoplanet characterization and studies of distant galaxies.
  • B. Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer
    The Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) is a Hubble Space Telescope instrument designed to capture high-resolution images and spectra in the near-infrared, enabling studies of faint, distant, and dust-obscured astronomical objects.
  • C. NIRSpec
    NIRSpec is a powerful near-infrared spectrograph on the James Webb Space Telescope designed to analyze the light from distant astronomical objects to study their composition, motion, and physical properties.
  • D. Near Infrared Spectrometer
    The Near Infrared Spectrometer is a scientific instrument designed to analyze the composition and mineralogy of surfaces or atmospheres by measuring their reflected or emitted light in the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
  • E. MMIRS (Magellan/MMT Infrared Spectrograph)
    MMIRS (Magellan/MMT Infrared Spectrograph) is a near-infrared imaging spectrograph designed for the Magellan and MMT telescopes to study faint astronomical objects at infrared wavelengths.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
