Abstract
This paper gives an overview of Targeting Extremely Magnified Panchromatic Lensed Arcs and Their Extended Star formation (TEMPLATES), a JWST Early Release Science program that targeted four extremely bright, gravitationally lensed galaxies, two extremely dusty and two with low attenuation, as templates for galaxy evolution studies with JWST. TEMPLATES obtains a common set of spectral diagnostics for these 1.3 ≤ z ≤ 4.2 galaxies, in particular H α , Paschen α , and the rest-frame optical and near-infrared continua. In addition, two of the four targets have JWST coverage of [O iii ] 5007 Å and H β ; the other two targets have JWST coverage of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon 3.3 μ m and complementary Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array data covering the [C ii ] 158 μ m emission line. The science goals of TEMPLATES are to demonstrate attenuation-robust diagnostics of star formation, map the distribution of star formation, compare the young and old stellar populations, and measure the physical conditions of star formation and their spatial variation across the galaxies. In addition, TEMPLATES has the technical goal to establish best practices for the integral field units within the NIRSpec and MIRI instruments, both in terms of observing strategy and in terms of data reduction. The paper describes TEMPLATES’s observing program, scientific and technical goals, data reduction methods, and deliverables, including high-level data products and data reduction cookbooks.
