Purpose
Following the JWST ERS and Cycle 2 GO Announcement of Opportunity published on July 6, 2023, the CSA is providing funding via a Grant Agreement to the university to conduct their research using the JWST data. This project will study a compact group of five galaxies called Stephan’s Quintet. Previous infrared observations have shown that the dominant emission from the tidal stream is from fragile, warm molecular hydrogen. This warm gas somehow co-exists with million-degree X-ray-emitting gas. Mid-infrared imaging spectroscopy observations will answer the questions about why such strong molecular hydrogen exists in such a hostile environment and how stars can form there.
