JWST: A successor to Hubble? No, it is so much more.
with Dr. Jeremy Heyl, Head of UBC Physics and Astronomy
On Christmas Day 2021, astronomers received a long awaited gift, the launch of the most ambitious and expensive science experiment: the James Webb Space Telescope. I will describe the launch and deployment of JWST to the second Lagrange point (L2), the capabilities of JWST and some recent discoveries from the mission. My team was fortunate to be awarded time in the first year of JWST operations and again for next year. Our first program was to search for evidence of planets in the ancient and metal-poor cluster of stars, 47 Tucanae. Next years' program follows this up with two more clusters (Terzan 5 and Liller 1) by taking a movie of each cluster to look for stars with planets and stars losing mass to unseen companions.
