Would the Webb be a useful instrument for searching for rogue planets? I'm thinking in particular of the Webb's MIRI instrument, which should be able to spot stuff as cool as 150 K if I'm reading this graph right.
I understand that whether the Webb would ever be used to look for rogue planets is a separate question. It's a hypothetical question; I'm just wondering about the numbers. Doug M. |
