Probing the disk evolution in an early stage massive protocluster$32.8Kvalue2026start2028end

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 Lā˜‰. 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.

Resolving the thin disk of a nearby Milky Way analog$12.1Kvalue2026start2028end

This project will use JWST/MIRI and NIRCam to map the edge-on galaxy NGC 4565, resolving its vertical PAH, dust and star formation structure at <20 pc resolution. Covering the full disk out to 30 kpc, the study will test models of galactic self-regulation and reveal whether giant interstellar filaments and vertical ISM structures seen in the Milky Way are common in other galaxies.
