New Software Extracts More Exoplanet Imaging Data from Webb Telescope

Researchers have developed software that improves the data quality captured by the James Webb Space Telescope. The program works by optimizing a physical model of the telescope, which helps reduce background noise in observations. Cleaner data allows astronomers to better detect and image exoplanets. The approach extracts more useful information from observations the telescope has already collected. Details beyond the core technique are limited in the source report.
