Published purpose

This project will use JWST/NirCam imaging along with NIRSpec and MIRI spectroscopy to study the atmosphere and infer the formation history of the first mature cold Jupiter analog planet imaged around another star. These observations will combine the acquired orbital information with archival data to accurately determine the planet’s orbit, mass, and bulk density.
