I am excited to share that Maren Cosens’ paper on the energetics and feedback of star forming regions in the nearest starburst galaxy IC 10 has been accepted! Here’s an illustration of IC 10 star forming region sizes and velocity dispersion. arxiv.org/abs/2202.04098

This kaleidoscope of colors reveals not one but four galaxies swirling around each other in the early universe. #NASAWebb uncovered this galaxy cluster in the process of forming: webbtelescope.pub/3CMMDf9

Knot your average discovery 🥨 We thought there was just one, but Webb revealed there are at least 3 galaxies forming a cosmic knot around this quasar. A quasar is a super bright galactic core, powered by a supermassive black hole. nasa.gov/feature/goddar… Let's untangle this👇

Artist Jessica Campbell was inspired by the cosmic microwave background, the oldest light in the universe. 🪡 Want to see more? Check out other NASA-inspired creations: nasa.tumblr.com/post/724104529…

Really nice summary of our most recent paper on quasar outflows with JWST, led by Dave Rupke. NASA Webb Telescope @ESAWebb #Q3D Andrey Vayner Caroline Bertemes aasnova.org/2023/08/23/jws…

Check out our latest paper on the black hole mass of a powerful quasar at z~3: BH masses can be highly uncertain despite a beautiful #JWST data set. Important to keep in mind especially for works at higher z. Great work by Caroline Bertemes. Comments welcome arxiv.org/abs/2404.14475

I cannot vote as a permanent resident, and so my fate and that of my family are dependent on all of you who can vote. The Trump years were chaotic and stressful for those of us on temporary student/work visas. I don't want that to happen again Tomorrow, please vote #HarrisWalz
