The discussion seeks an estimate of how many astronomers utilize raw data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) for comparison with data from other telescopes, such as Hubble. Participants suggest referencing Hubble's usage statistics as a benchmark. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding JWST's impact on the astronomical community. There is an emphasis on the need for concrete figures to facilitate comparisons across different astronomical data sources. Accurate estimates are crucial for evaluating the significance of JWST in current astronomical research.

TL;DR
I'm looking for a ballpark estimate of the number of astronomers who use JWST data.
I'm looking for a ballpark estimate of the number of astronomers who directly use raw James Webb Space Telescope data, in part, to be able to compare it to the number of scientists using data from other telescopes and scientific experiments.

How about using the estimates for Hubble from the Hubble site?
 

Thread 'Project Progress Report and possible Radio Astronomy Technique?'

Some 8 years ago I posted some experiments using 2 Software Defined Radios slaved to a common clock. The idea was measure small thermal noise by making correlation measurements between the IQ samples from each radio. This is a project that has kinda smoldered in the background where I've made progress in fits and starts. Since most (all?) RA signals are small thermal signals it seemed like the technique should be a natural approach. A recent thread discussing the feasibility of using SDRs to...
