The Ring Nebula as a Laboratory for the Interaction of Molecules, PAHs and Dust in Strong UV Radiation Fields — Following the JWST ERS and Cycle 1 GO Announcement of Opportunity published on June 14, 2021, the CSA is providing funding via a Grant Agreement to the university to conduct research using the JWST.

 The project will investigate how polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and other molecules form, evolve and survive in clumpy, irradiated environments by observing the Ring Nebula with JWST instruments MIRI, NIRSpec and NIRCam to measure and analyze the emission of atomic, molecular and particulate components.
