JWebbinar 37 - Planning Solar System Observations with JWST
About Event
Location
Virtual
Time
11:00 AM - 1:00 PM EDT
Description
JWST is capable of observing the majority of solar system objects found beyond the Earth's orbit, such as asteroids, giant planets and their satellites, comets, and trans-Neptunian objects. Solar system targets may present additional challenges when planning observations, such as their apparent rates of motion, proximity to bright sources, or ephemeris uncertainties. This JWebbinar will focus on how to use available tools to determine valid observing windows for solar system targets, estimate signal-to-noise ratios for extended sources in the ETC, as well as create solar system targets, visualize target ephemerides, and specify constraints in APT.
Registration closes September 13.
