The Influence of Deep Space and the Stars on Emotions. [PDF]

Int J Psychol
ABSTRACT Detailed photographs of deep space from the James Webb telescope are public, yet little is known about how such imagery might affect people. Using both face‐to‐face and online study designs, compared to exposure to photographs of urban environments, exposure to photographs of deep space and stars increased experiences of awe overall and also ...

PACMan2: Next Steps in Proposal Review Management

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
With the start of a new Great Observatories era, there is renewed concern that the demand for these forefront facilities, through proposal pressure, will exceed conventional peer-review management’s capacity for ensuring an unbiased and efficient ...

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.

Mid-infrared Spectroscopy of Protonated Benzonitrile, 2-Cyanonaphthalene, and 9-Cyanoanthracene for Astrochemical Consideration. [PDF]

Chemphyschem
Experimental infrared absorption spectra of three protonated cyano‐substituted PAHs measured by infrared multiple photon dissociation using the free‐electron laser Free‐Electron Laser for Infrared eXperiments are studied. These spectra are compared to an emission spectrum measured by JWST, and the largest measured protonated cyano‐PAH, cyanoanthracene,

Astrophysical Distance Scale. VII. A Self-consistent, Multiwavelength Calibration of the Slopes and Relative Zero Points for the Run of Luminosity with the Color of Stars Defining the Tip of the Red Giant Branch

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
Given the recent successful launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, determining robust calibrations of the slopes and absolute magnitudes of the near- to mid-infrared tip of the red-giant branch (TRGB) will be essential to measuring precise ...

PHANGS–JWST First Results: A Combined HST and JWST Analysis of the Nuclear Star Cluster in NGC 628

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We combine archival Hubble Space Telescope and new James Webb Space Telescope imaging data covering the ultraviolet to mid-infrared regime to morphologically analyze the nuclear star cluster (NSC) of NGC 628, a grand-design spiral galaxy.

JWST Low-resolution MIRI Spectral Observations of SN 2021aefx: High-density Burning in a Type Ia Supernova

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We present a JWST/MIRI low-resolution mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopic observation of the normal Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) SN 2021aefx at +323 days past rest-frame B -band maximum light.

Cometary Science with the James Webb Space Telescope

, 2015
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), as the largest space-based astronomical observatory with near- and mid-infrared instrumentation, will elucidate many mysterious aspects of comets. We summarize four cometary science themes especially suited for this
