NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is wobbly—scientists have a fix that could reveal new alien worlds

By modeling the James Webb Space Telescope’s tiny movements, a new technique can reveal up to 15 times fainter alien worlds

Software Enhances Webb Telescope Data for Improved Exoplanet Imaging

Researchers have developed a machine-learning method called FLIP to improve the James Webb Space Telescope’s ability to detect and analyze exoplanets. By combining a physical model of Webb’s NIRCam instrument with gradient-descent optimization on modern GPUs, the method can be trained in just over 30 minutes and has increased the signal-to-noise ratio of observations by [...]
