The international NASA's James Webb Space Telescope COSMOS-Web team, led by @ritscience.bsky.social researchers, has made an unprecedented amount of information available for future discovery! Explore the largest view deep into the #universe through a searchable catalog now available to the public.

COSMOS-Web opens window into universe for scientists and citizens

Supported by RIT’s Jeyhan Kartaltepe, COSMOS-Web—the largest JWST Cycle 1 observation program— has made its full data set publicly available.

My PhD student Rohan Pattnaik's first paper on the machine learning tool he developed to automatically measure redshifts directly from galaxy spectra, SpecPT, is now out. The results are have surpassed my expectations and I can't wait until we extend this to other datasets! arxiv.org/abs/2501.01070

Here’s Joel Achenbach for the Washington Post on JWST’s first year with nice quotes from @janerigby.bsky.social, @jeyhan.bsky.social, @saturnswings.bsky.social and many more! https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2023/07/12/jwst-new-picture-first-year/

Second galaxy to the right and straight on until cosmic dawn! This video takes you on a journey through our CEERS JWST images and cosmic history. Every second we travel 200 Million lightyears into the past on our way to Maisie's Galaxy which existed ~13.4 Billion years ago!

Ok, I do love that with very little effort, I have a feed for Cat pics!

First post! Let's kick things off with our #JWST NASA press release today on high redshift galaxies in the CEERS Survey, and highlighting work from @saturnswings.bsky.social

Webb Detects Most Distant Active Supermassive Black Hole to Date

Researchers have discovered the most distant active supermassive black hole to date with the James Webb Space Telescope. The galaxy, CEERS 1019, existed just over 570 million years after the big bang,...
