For Scientists

This page and the set of links available from this page are for the use of astronomers who would like to learn more about using JWST for their research programs. A detailed description of the science capabilities and instruments on JWST can be found in the Space Science Reviews paper (external link) by Gardner et. al. A brief synopsis of the JWST science themes can be obtained here. White papers written by the JWST Science Working Group can be found here.

For technical information about the status, design and plans for JWST, you can go to http://spie.org and search for “webb" and "jwst”. On that site there are more than 500 technical articles about JWST. (Note there is a fee per article on that site without an institutional subscription.)

You may also be interested in visiting the Images & Videos section of our website.

The "Webb Update" is a newsletter with updates about JWST. The most recent newsletter as well as archived copies of past newsletters are available in the"Newsletter" section, shown on the menu to your left, under "For Scientists".
