Did you know Hubble helped build NASA Webb Telescope’s “to-do” list? ☑️ One of Webb’s upcoming projects is called COSMOS-Webb, which will observe a patch of sky containing half a million galaxies – building on a huge survey that Hubble started in 2002. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/33swXPW

Our 2022 UCSC Grad Slam Champion is Amanda Quirk, Astronomy and Astrophysics, who received $3,000 and will represent UC Santa Cruz at the UC-wide Grad Slam Finals with their presentation "The Tale of Two Galaxies: Studying How Galaxies Change Over Time" 🎉🏆

The funding has been secured, so it's official! We have been organizing a virtual poster-only conference (PoSTER 2022) on galaxy formation for junior astronomers. Whether you have some old posters to recycle, or want to share some new results with your peers, come join us in May!

Today is the first day of the Canadian Astronomical Society (CASCA) 2022 conference. We are very excited to host and participate in #CASCA22! uwaterloo.ca/canadian-astro…

Congratulations to Ryan Hausen, newly minted ⁦UC Santa Cruz⁩ Comp Sci PhD from the Computational Astrophysics Research Group! Dr. Hausen is joining ⁦Johns Hopkins Physics & Astronomy⁩ as a Data Scientist / Scientific Software Developer later this summer. Congrats again Dr. Hausen!

New paper tonight from UC Santa Cruz CompAstro led by Bruno Villasenor, using >1000 high-resolution cosmological sims run on DOE Office of Science OLCF to constrain warm dark matter w/ the Lyman-alpha forest. Collab w/ the amazing Dr Evan Schneider + P. Madau. arxiv.org/abs/2209.14220

✨Lamat 2023 applications are OPEN✨ Lamat is an 8-week REU for STEM students (comm. college + 4-year) interested in computational astrophysics and astronomical data research. The program will be in person at UC Santa Cruz ☄️To apply and for more info, visit lamat.science.ucsc.edu/students/☄️

I’m incredibly honored to be a member of the 2022 class of Packard Fellows! Check out minute 1:18 if you want to see me looking totally overwhelmed (and thrilled) 😊 #PackardFellows youtu.be/PjXAIKW2b8w

Paper day! arxiv.org/abs/2211.07865 Our COSMOS-Web Overview paper is out! This paper is the result of a lot of hard work by @astrocaits and I along with all of COSMOS Survey, describing the COSMOS-Web NASA Webb Telescope #JWST survey.

Our new paper from the JADES collab, co-led w/ Sandro Tacchella, & w/ partner paper by Emma Curtis Lake & Stefano Carniani. The NASA Webb Telescope GTO teams have found #EarlyGalaxies in the first 400 Myr of time, & for the first time confirmed them spectroscopically arxiv.org/abs/2212.04480

New results from JADES tonight led by Sandro Tacchella and Andy Bunker: photometric and spectroscopic properties of GN-z11, A remarkable z=10.6 galaxy with a stunning array of spectral lines! arxiv.org/abs/2302.07234 arxiv.org/abs/2302.07256

its paper day! 🎉 i'm happy to share my first paper written as part of my graduate program Texas Astronomy in collaboration with @astrocaits and (many) others. brief thread below! 👇

First version of our full color COSMOS-Web mosaic up on the giant TACC screen at UT Austi. There's nearly half a million galaxies on here and this is only half of the full dataset! COSMOS Survey

This has been a huge effort from COSMOS Survey 's Max Franco to process this enormous amount of NIRCam data

So excited to announce that our COSMOS Survey Redshift Wrangler Citizen Science Project (Redshift Wrangler ) has launched today! This effort has been 3 years in the making. We can't wait to see what discoveries everyone makes!

💫 A new paper led by Bailey Robison and @MikeHudsonAstro is out this week, titled "The shape of dark matter haloes: results from weak lensing in the Ultraviolet Near-Infrared Optical Northern Survey (UNIONS)" 🖇 You can check it out here arxiv.org/abs/2209.09088

We’re happy to announce our first COSMOS-Web public data release, DR0.2, covering the first epoch of observations taken in January. You can find the details on our web page here: cosmos.astro.caltech.edu/page/cosmosweb…
