Design and Preliminary Ground Experiment for Deployable Sunshade Structures of a Modular Space Telescope [PDF]
SensorsOn-orbit assembling space telescope (OAST) is one of the most feasible methods to implement a large-scale space telescope. Unlike a monolithic space telescope (such as Hubble Space Telescope, HST) or a deployable space telescope (such as James Webb Space

High-redshift JWST Observations and Primordial Non-Gaussianity
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Several bright and massive galaxy candidates at high redshifts have been recently observed by the James Webb Space Telescope. Such early massive galaxies seem difficult to reconcile with standard Λ cold dark matter model predictions.

What the Upper Atmospheres of Giant Planets Reveal
Remote Sensing, 2022 The upper atmospheres of the Giant Planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are transition regions between meteorological layers and outer space. As a result of their exceptionally rarefied nature, they are highly sensitive and therefore revealing ...

Confirmation of Subsolar Metallicity for WASP-77Ab from JWST Thermal Emission Spectroscopy
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We present the dayside thermal emission spectrum of WASP-77Ab from 2.8 to 5.2 μ m as observed with the NIRSpec instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). WASP-77Ab was previously found to have a subsolar metallicity and a solar carbon-to-oxygen

Constraining the AGN Luminosity Function from JWST with the X-Ray Background
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We predict the X-ray background (XRB) expected from the population of quasars detected by the James Webb Space Telescope spectroscopic surveys over the redshift range z ∼ 4–7.
