 urning.  Often called brown dwarfs\, sources that do not have enough mass 
 to ignite a core with fusion cool throughout their lives.  Their effective
  temperatures are a fraction of that of the Sun so they are not visible to
  the naked eye.  Instead they give off the majority of their light in the 
 infrared where JWST is optimized.  \n\nBrown dwarfs are rich Astrophysical

 lanets.  In this webinar I will take you through how and what JWST will be
  doing scientifically at the crossroads of stars and planets.  I’ll focus 
 on a new program that I have accepted as well as several accepted projects
  by instrument science teams that will revolutionize what we know about at
 mospheres of worlds beyond our solar system.\n\nAbout Jackie Faherty: \nJa
 ckie Faherty is a senior scientist and senior education manager at the Ame
 rican Museum of Natural History (AMNH).  Her research group entitled “Brow

 brown dwarf and giant exoplanet characterization studies.  She is also co-
 founder of the successful citizen science project called “Backyard Worlds:
  Planet 9' which has involved over 150\,000 volunteers in searches for pre
