TL;DR Summary

The James Webb Space Telescope is being used to study the dynamics of gas giant formation and the depletion of gas around host stars. Researchers have used the telescope to probe the "disk wind" around a young star called T Cha, finding evidence of neon and argon emissions that provide insights into the evolution of protoplanetary disks. This study represents a crucial step in understanding the formation of gas planets and opens the door to future research on the process of photoevaporation driving the disk-wind phenomenon.
