I am an astronomical data scientist at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore. I work with a team on software engineers to develop a suite of open source tools to visualize and analyze data from the James Webb Space Telescope. I am especially interested in bringing these tools to the wider community and non-scientists who wonder about the Universe.
Session
The astronomical community has built a good amount of software to visualize and analyze the images obtained with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). In this talk, I will present the open-source Python package Jdaviz. I will show you how to visualize publicly available JWST images and build the pretty color images that we have all seen in the media. Half the talk will be an introduction to JWST and Jdaviz and half will be a hands on session on a cloud platform (you will only need to create an account) or on your own machine (the package is available on PyPI).
