Fixing the Interferometer on the JWST

The JWST can take very hig h-resolution pictures by combining light in a specific way using an onboard piece of Australian hardware — however, the first observations revealed th is observing mode was not working as expected. In this talk, I’ll explain h ow we fixed the Australian observing mode on JWST, and how we convert these complex measurements into high-resolution images of moons, black holes and exoplanets.
