JWST

My Projects

JWST programs I'm leading with public data:

• GO 1433 (PI Coe) studying the z=11 candidate for most distant galaxy known: MACS0647-JD

  • 2022 Sep 22 – Nov 13: NIRCam

  • 2023 Jan 4 – 12: NIRSpec + NIRCam

• GO 2282 (PI Coe) studying the most highly magnified galaxy known in the first billion years at z=6:
  the "Sunrise Arc" (Welch et al. 2022b) including the lensed star Earendel (Welch et al. 2022a)

  • 2022 July 30: NIRCam

  • 2022 Nov 25 – Dec 31: NIRSpec + NIRCam

other JWST programs I'm involved in:

• GTO 1176 and 2738 "PEARLS" (PI Rogier Windhorst) observing 7 galaxy clusters (among other things)

• GO 2561 "UNCOVER" (PI Ivo Labbe; Co-PI Rachel Bezanson) obtaining the deepest JWST data on any galaxy cluster in Cycle 1
