Webb confirms galaxy MoM-z14 280 million years after Big Bang

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has confirmed a bright galaxy named MoM-z14 as it appeared about 280 million years after the big bang, measuring a cosmological redshift of 14.44 with Webb’s NIRSpec instrument. The result is described in a paper led by Rohan Naidu of MIT published

Webb data used to map dark matter across a 0.54 sq. degree field in Sextans

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope observed a 0.54 square degree region in the constellation Sextans and, using those data, researchers produced a dark matter map overlaid on an image containing nearly 800,000 galaxies. The map shows dark matter in blue, with brighter blue indicating higher dark matter

Webb produces highest-resolution dark matter map of COSMOS region

Scientists using data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have produced one of the most detailed, high-resolution maps of dark matter ever made, covering a section of the COSMOS field in the constellation Sextans. Published Monday, Jan. 26, in Nature Astronomy, the map shows how invisible dark matter overlaps

Webb captures detailed structures and chemistry in the Helix Nebula

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has produced a high-resolution near-infrared image of a portion of the Helix Nebula that highlights comet-like knots, fierce stellar winds and layers of gas being shed by a dying star. Webb’s NIRCam image shows pillar-like features with extended tails tracing the inner edge

NASA’s Roman and Webb telescopes to combine wide surveys with deep infrared follow-up

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope will work in tandem to study the universe, with Roman conducting rapid, wide-area surveys and Webb providing narrower but more detailed infrared observations. Roman will capture giant, 300-megapixel images using 18 large detectors and a wide-field design,

Webb observations suggest accretion, not outflows, dominate near Circinus black hole — Assets.science.nasa.gov

Webb observations suggest accretion, not outflows, dominate near Circinus black hole

A team led by Dr. Enrique Lopez‑Rodriguez of the University of South Carolina used NASA’s Webb telescope to image the region around the supermassive black hole at the center of the Circinus galaxy, applying the Aperture‑Mask Interferometry technique to obtain high‑contrast, high‑resolution views of outflow
