Will JWST observe my target?

Let’s say that we’re interested in observing TRAPPIST-1 with JWST. To determine whether this target’s already been included in an ERS or GTO proposal, we can call target.Target on our target of interest. This instantiates a Target object, allowing us to perform scrapes relevant to our target of interest.

test = target.Target("TRAPPIST-1")

Next, we can call test.scrape_webb_MAST to query MAST regarding this target. Note:

test.scrape_webb_MAST()
test.webb_approved

True

Because test.webb_approved returned as True, there’s already a GTO or ERS proposal logged for this target. Let’s see what it is.

Looks like a number of studies are taking relevant data!
