  • As we enter the JWST era, and on the threshold of the ELT era, high spectral resolution observations in the thermal infrared will continue to be important and may increase in importance. Even with the sensitivity of JWST, the limited spectral resolution means line profiles will often be unresolved and weak features may be hidden by a strong continuum or nearby features. To fully understand the objects we study with JWST, we will need the information provided by high-resolution spectroscopy. The ELTs, along with new instrumentation, will be important tools in this process. Perhaps someday we will be able to use a cold, space telescope equipped with a high-resolution spectrograph.
