James Webb Space Telescope News
Date Source Description Title
Université de Montréal An international team led by the Université de Montréal discovered how black holes feed themselves and self-regulates. Canadian Astronomers Using Webb Telescope Reveal How Supermassive Black Holes Feed Themselves
University of Calgary An international team, including researchers from the University of Calgary, have uncovered a "monster" black hole not anchored in the middle of its host galaxy. Astronomers find galactic 'monsters' in unexpected places using James Webb Telescope
York University Researchers from York University have uncovered that the Milky Way began with a chaotic phase before becoming the structured and stable spiral we see today. Canadian astronomers use Webb to uncover Milky Way's turbulent youth through galactic twins
Université de Montréal A Canadian-led team discovers that exoplanet LP 791-18 c, a temperate Sub-Neptune, hides a hazy atmosphere unlike any of its planetary siblings. Webb Reveals a Hazy World That Shows Not All Planet Twins Are Identical
Université de Montréal Researchers have detected the strongest evidence yet for an atmosphere on a rocky planet outside our Solar System. Webb Telescope Detects Thick Atmosphere Around Broiling Lava World
Université de Montréal Using Canada's Near-Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectograph, astronomers from the Université de Montréal captured the most complete image to date of an exoplanet's atmosphere escaping into space. Webb Telescope Reveals Double Helium Tails Escaping from a Hot Jupiter - Trottier Institute for Research on Exoplanets
McGill University A team led by McGill University has observed a giant cloud of helium gas evaporating from a distant giant exoplanet called WASP-107b, revealing crucial clues about how gas giants lose mass and evolve. Exoplanet is observed shedding its atmosphere in real time
Université de Montréal Using Canada's Near-Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectograph, students from McGill University and Université de Montréal have mapped the irregular clouds and chaotic climate of SIMP 0136, a brown dwarf drifting alone in space. IREx-led team maps ‘weather' on a nearby brown dwarf in unprecedented detail
Université de Montréal An international team led by the Université de Montréal has revealed that a very old white dwarf star is still actively accreting planetary debris. A Dead Star Reveals the Swallowed Remains of Its Planetary System
Western University Researchers at Western University have discovered CH3+ molecules where they shouldn't exist in the Butterfly Nebula (NGC 6302), a clue to help understand how complex carbon molecules form in space. Western astrophysicists help decode chemistry behind cosmic butterfly's beauty
