TL;DR Summary
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?
 

FAQ: How many astronomers use JWST data?

How many astronomers are currently using JWST data?

As of now, hundreds of astronomers worldwide are using JWST data. The exact number can vary depending on the specific observation cycles and proposals accepted by the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI).

What types of research are astronomers conducting with JWST data?

Astronomers are using JWST data for a wide range of research topics, including studying the formation of stars and planets, investigating the atmospheres of exoplanets, exploring distant galaxies, and understanding the early universe.

How can astronomers access JWST data?

Astronomers can access JWST data through the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST). Data becomes publicly available after a proprietary period, typically one year after the observations are made.

Are there any restrictions on who can use JWST data?

Initially, the data is available to the principal investigators (PIs) and their teams who proposed the observations. After the proprietary period, the data is made available to the entire scientific community and the public.

How do astronomers apply to use JWST for their research?

Astronomers apply to use JWST by submitting detailed proposals during specific calls for proposals issued by the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI). These proposals are then reviewed and selected based on scientific merit and feasibility.
