The Ring Nebula as a Laboratory for the Interaction of Molecules, PAHs and Dust in Strong UV Radiation Fields

EF 2021-22 · 2022-03-11

Résumé
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.

Description (French)
À la suite de l'avis d'offre de participation au JWST ERS et au cycle 1 GO publié le 14 juin 2021, l'ASC fournit un financement à l'université par le biais d'un accord de subvention afin de mener des recherches à l'aide du JWST. Le projet permettra d'étudier comment les hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques (HAP) et d'autres molécules se forment, évoluent et survivent dans des environnements agglutinés et irradiés en observant la nébuleuse de l'Anneau avec les instruments MIRI, NIRSpec et NIRCam du JWST afin de mesurer et d'analyser l'émission de composants atomiques, moléculaires et particulaires.
Expected Results
The Research component of the program provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future.
Expected Results (French)
Le volet Recherche du programme offre aux organisations une aide financière qui leur permettra de mener leurs activités de recherche et développement spatiales dans des secteurs prioritaires. Ce volet appuiera le développement des connaissances et l’innovation dans les domaines ciblés de manière à soutenir et à accroître la capacité du Canada d’utiliser l’espace pour répondre aux besoins et aux priorités du pays dans le futur.
