SUMMARY

Approximately 1,000 astronomers utilize raw James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) data, based on estimates derived from similar usage patterns observed with the Hubble Space Telescope. This figure allows for a comparative analysis with other astronomical data sources. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the user base of JWST data in the context of broader astronomical research.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with astronomical data sources, specifically JWST and Hubble Space Telescope.
  • Understanding of data usage statistics in scientific research.
  • Knowledge of astronomical research methodologies.
  • Basic awareness of the scientific community's data-sharing practices.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the data access protocols for James Webb Space Telescope.
  • Explore the usage statistics of Hubble Space Telescope data.
  • Investigate the impact of JWST data on current astronomical research.
  • Learn about data-sharing practices among astronomers and scientists.
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, astrophysicists, and researchers interested in the utilization of space telescope data, as well as those comparing data usage across different astronomical instruments.

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?
