Description

SDSS J1226+2152 is the first extragalactic science target to be observed by JWST. The strongly lensed z=2.9233 Lyman break galaxy, SGAS J122651.3+215220, lensed by a cluster at z=0.4358, was targeted as part of the JWST-ERS program TEMPLATES: Targeting Extremely Magnified Panchromatic Lensed Arcs and their Extended Star formation. Aiming to combine the exquisite capabilities of JWST with the extreme magnification provided by strong gravitational lensing, these observations will peer into galaxies at cosmic noon and probe the building blocks of star formation.
