A New Era for Supernova Science with the James Webb Space Telescope

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is revolutionizing supernova science by providing unprecedented views of nearby and high-redshift supernovae. Observations reveal new insights into dust production in core-collapse supernovae, offer early spectroscopic samples of Type Ia progenitors, and provide crucial cosmological measurements using strongly lensed SNe to constrain the Hubble constant.
