A 3D Drizzle Algorithm for JWST and Practical Application to the MIRI Medium Resolution Spectrometer

We describe an algorithm for application of the classic “drizzle” technique to produce 3D spectral cubes using data obtained from the slicer-type integral field unit (IFU) spectrometers on board the James Webb Space Telescope. This algorithm relies upon the computation of overlapping volume elements...
