    Webb peers at young star’s dusty disk, discovers an exoplanet, and uncovers star formation

    by Haygen Warren January 16, 2023
    written by Haygen Warren

    At the 241st meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) on Jan. 11, three teams presented research that utilized the capabilities of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. The first team used Webb to observe the dusty disk surrounding a young red dwarf star, the second to discover an exoplanet, and the third used the telescope’s infrared sensitivity to uncover the mysterious star formation processes in an open star cluster.

    The findings presented at AAS come just after Webb’s one-year launch anniversary on Dec. 25, 2022, and six months after the release of the observatory’s first images on July 11 and 12, 2022. The results presented on Jan. 11 continue to highlight the power and capabilities of Webb.
