Published purpose

This project will use JWST to conduct the first deep infrared census of YSOs in the massive protoclusters NGC 6334I(N) and 6334I, identifying over 1,000 sources down to 0.1 L☉. Combined with ALMA disk observations, it will measure dust masses, radii and substructures to reveal how circumstellar disks evolve in dense cluster environments and how such regions shape star and planet formation.
