Follow the @usngo.bsky.social for our image of the week series and many other news and resources about the International Gemini Observatory at @noirlabastro.bsky.social @noirlabastroes.bsky.social #astronomy
This week’s image is of the galaxy NGC 772! Gemini’s GMOS-N captured this galaxy’s stunning spiral morphology and abundant other galaxies in the background. Marvelous galaxies like these can be found in galaxy clusters. Check out the 🧵 for more papers on galaxy clusters! #astronomy
NEW: #NASAWebb reveals a distant spiral galaxy perfectly aligned near the tip of Herbig-Haro 49/50—an outflow generated by a nearby still-forming star. This near- and mid-infrared image uncovers intricate details about how stars form: webbtelescope.pub/4iGQg9K 🔭 🧪
🔭👀 New results from the @desisurvey.bsky.social strengthen hints that #DarkEnergy might evolve. News release ⬇️ newscenter.lbl.gov/2025/03/19/n... #Space #arXiv 🧪
🔭 We're ready with the DESI DR1 database and 23 million spectra in the SPARCL searchable spectral database. These services are best suited for public access for astronomy questions and we worked closely with the DESI data team 🤝 Data Lab: datalab.noirlab.edu SPARCL: astrosparcl.datalab.noirlab.edu
@desisurvey.bsky.social has *two* big releases 1) Exciting results with stronger hints of evolving dark energy based on three years of data 2) First year of data (DR1): spectra for >18 million objects in the main survey! At the Data Lab, we provide a database version for convenient data access 🔭✨
JUST RELEASED: DESI DR1 & BAO RESULTS FROM DR2🌌
Bullseye! Researchers using Hubble found a massive galaxy rippling with nine star-filled rings after an “arrow,” the blue dwarf galaxy to its center-left, plunged through its core 50 million years ago. A thin trail of gas still links the pair: bit.ly/4hcX52n 🔭 🧪
✨January 2025 updates✨ - Added 6 datasets: Palomar Gattini-IR (PGIR) DR1, S-PLUS DR4, DES Y6 Gold, PHAT v3, DeMCELS DR1, SDSS DR12 stellar mass VACs - Added 4 Jupyter notebooks to our collection available to all users and on GitHub Read more in our Newsletter! datalab.noirlab.edu/newsletters/...

📣Undergrad student Isabella Olin is presenting her #aas245 iPoster 465.04 soon (1-2pm) on SDSS/BOSS Large Scale Structure and the "Cosmic Slime" Value-Added Catalog, where she investigates the impact of environment on galaxy quenching She contributed a new Jupyter notebook on her work (link below)
This week NSF-Simons AI Institute for Cosmic Origins is at the @aasoffice.bsky.social Meeting in Washington D.C. Please stop by our table for more info and swag! Follow us for updates on our latest research, professional events, and opportunities to collaborate with leaders in astronomy and AI.
PSA: if you're going to #AAS245 in Washington DC. There is a sample of #asteroid #Bennu on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History! Also a Mars meteorite you can *touch*! #ToBennuAndBack 🧪🔭
Hi everyone, we're excited to attend #AAS245 🔭 Come see live demos of Data Lab, SPARCL, Gemini data reduction & grab Data Lab postcards at the NOIRLab booth # 105D (NSF pavilion). Demo schedule posted below and in our January Newsletter: datalab.noirlab.edu/newsletters/...
Making my slides for the "25 Years of Science with Chandra" conference, and here's the supernova remnants imaged with Chandra in the first two years of the mission in the order they were observed! 🔭🧪 #SaveChandra
Big paper day today! 🔭🧪 The newest results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument or DESI newscenter.lbl.gov/2024/11/19/n... 8 new papers on the arXiv this morning, including the long awaited analysis of the "full shape" of the galaxy power spectrum, and one led by my PhD student.
New DESI Results Weigh In On Gravity
Researchers used the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument to map how nearly 6 million galaxies cluster across 11 billion years of cosmic history. Their observations line up with what Einstein's theory...
