  • DiSCo-TNOs: Discovering the composition of the trans-Neptunian objects, icy embryos for planet formation
    This is a proposal for 98 hours of NIRSPEC/PRISM observations of 59 trans-Neptunian objects and Centaurs (hereafter, TNOs). Our targets cover a diverse range of orbital characteristics, sizes, albedos, and surface compositions complementary to the GTO targets. The TNO population includes some of the most primitive bodies in the Solar System and

  • Dust Formation in a Primitive Environment
    Observations suggest that Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars contribute significantly to the dust budgets of galaxies, from our own Presolar Nebula to the Magellanic Clouds. However, models suggest their contribution should decrease with metallicity, possibly becoming overshadowed by supernova and interstellar grain growth in primitive

  • Dust in the Wind: testing a new paradigm for the nature of AGN feedback
    Understanding the ouflows driven by Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) is of key importance for the modern view of galaxy evolution. A recent paradigm shift in our picture of dust in the vicinity of AGN offers promise for outflow science. We now know that a major part of an AGN's mid-infrared (MIR) dust emission comes from a polar structure that arises

  • Environmental effects on galaxy evolution in a z=5.2 proto-cluster
    Galaxy clusters are the most massive gravitationally bound structures in the Universe and they play a key role in our understanding of structure formation and galaxy evolution. The particular conditions of these high density environments can have a significant effect on the evolution of galaxies. Previous studies have reported systematic

  • Mapping, resolving and penetrating into the dusty Spiderweb protocluster with unqiue Pa-beta imaging
    We propose to conduct a unique and very efficient Pa-beta imaging (1.4hrs science time!) of the best-studied galaxy cluster in formation, called "Spiderweb" protocluster, at z=2.16, with the NIRCam F405N filter. Our primary goal is to map the entire star formation activities across this starbursting protocluster, and within individual galaxies

  • Revealing Low Luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei (ReveaLLAGN)
    JWST will be the most sensitive tool ever built for studying the accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the centers of galaxies. While quasars and bright active galactic nuclei (AGN) provide spectacular examples of this accretion, a vast majority of galaxies have black holes accreting at much lower rates. Although these low luminosity
