JWST Users Committee (JSTUC)

Supporting the User Community

The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) and the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) have established a joint James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Users Committee (JSTUC) to provide user advice to the observatory as a whole. This provides a practical way of ensuring that the observatory operations proceed in a coordinated manner in order to maximize its scientific performance.

Letters from the committee with recommendations on a variety of topics related to maximizing JWST science are available below.

The JSTUC welcomes the feedback from the astronomical community.
