摘要：
JWST 的 NIRSpec 积分场单元（IFU）模式的点扩散函数严重欠采样，产生了重采样噪声，表现为低频类正弦伪影，或称“波纹”。JWST 数据管线未校正数据中的这些伪影，且严重影响了单像素水平上可实现的科学研究。我们提出了 WICKED（WIggle Corrector Kit for NIRSpEc Data），一种旨在经验性地去除波纹的工具。WICKED 使用快速傅里叶变换来识别数据立方体中受波纹影响的 spaxels。光谱使用积分孔径和环形模板的混合、幂律以及二次多项式进行建模。该方法适用于所有中分辨率和高分辨率 NIRSpec 光栅：F070LP、F100LP、F170LP 和 F290LP。与未校正光谱相比，WICKED 能够将真实的整体光谱形状恢复至最多 3.5 倍的改善程度。它将吸收线的等值宽度恢复至真值的 5% 以内——比未校正光谱好约 3 倍，比其他方法好约 2 倍。WICKED 显著改善了运动学测量，将视线速度（LOSV）恢复至真值的 1% 以内——在 S/N ~40 下，比未校正光谱好 100 倍以上。作为案例研究，我们将 WICKED 应用于椭圆星系 NGC5128 的 G235H/F170LP IFU 数据，发现与先前研究具有良好的一致性。在受波纹影响的区域，与 WICKED 清理后的光谱相比，未校正光谱显示的恒星 LOSV 和速度弥散差异分别约为估计不确定度的 17 倍和 36 倍。NIRSpec IFU 数据中的波纹可能会在光谱形状、谱线测量和运动学方面引入严重的偏差，其数值甚至大于典型的不确定度。WICKED 提供了一个稳健且用户友好的解决方案，能够实现精确的单像素研究，并最大化 JWST 的潜力。
英文摘要：
The point-spread function of the integral-field unit (IFU) mode of the JWST's NIRSpec is heavily under-sampled, creating resampling noise seen as low-frequency sinusoidal-like artifacts, or "wiggles". These artifacts in the data are not corrected in the JWST data pipeline, and significantly impact the science that can be achieved at a single-pixel level. We present WICKED (WIggle Corrector Kit for NIRSpEc Data), a tool designed to empirically remove wiggles. WICKED uses the Fast Fourier Transform to identify wiggle-affected spaxels across the data cube. Spectra are modeled with a mix of integrated aperture and annular templates, a power-law, and a second-degree polynomial. The method works across all medium- and high-resolution NIRSpec gratings: F070LP, F100LP, F170LP, and F290LP. WICKED can recover the true overall spectral shape up to a factor of 3.5x better compared to uncorrected spectra. It recovers the equivalent width of absorption lines within 5% of the true value-~3x better than uncorrected spectra and ~2x better than other methods. WICKED significantly improves kinematic measurements, recovering the line-of-sight velocity (LOSV) within 1% of the true value -- more than 100x better than uncorrected spectra at S/N ~40. As a case study, we applied WICKED to G235H/F170LP IFU data of the elliptical galaxy NGC5128, finding good agreement with previous studies. In wiggle-affected regions, the uncorrected spectrum showed stellar LOSV and velocity dispersion differences compared to the WICKED-cleaned spectrum, of ~17x and ~36x larger than the estimated uncertainties, respectively. Wiggles in NIRSpec IFU data can introduce severe biases in spectral shape, line measurements, and kinematics to values larger than the typical uncertainties. WICKED provides a robust, user-friendly solution, enabling precise single-pixel studies and maximizing JWST's potential.
