Purpose
This project will use JWST/MIRI and NIRSpec to investigate mysterious infrared signals called Aromatic Infrared Bands by observing a dying star (NGC6644) and studying how their molecular structure evolves when exposed to ultraviolet light. By understanding this molecular evolution around dying stars, we can predict their behaviour in planet-forming disks, advancing our knowledge of how life’s organic building blocks are processed during star and planet formation.
