Published purpose

This project aims advance the detection and characterization of extrasolar planets and their atmospheres by observing and studying the host stars and brown dwarfs that are most amenable to discovering potentially habitable planets. The results of the project will leverage Canada's contribution to the James Webb Space Telescope by furnishing some of the best targets for the study of exoplanetary habitability.
