Astrophysics in the next decade : the James Webb space telescope and concurrent facilities

NASA s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), planned for operation in about five years, will have the capability to investigate and answer some of the most challenging questions in astronomy. Although motivated and designed to study the very early Universe, the performance of the observatory s instrume...
