Coming soon! The NOIRLab Science IRAF v2.18 is compatible with modern platforms/processors and comes pre-packaged with your favorite external packages, including Gemini Observatory data reduction.

Ah! This is COSMOS-dw1 (we used to call it the "COSMOS blob"). We wrote about it in this publication: ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2021ApJ...…, led by Ava Polzin! w/ Pieter van Dokkum

What a beautiful story. It is educational, fun, and just plain awesome. So nice to read something like this when most news are horrible. We need to get NASA International Astronomical Union (IAU) involved and make sure Zoozve is officially named Zoozve.

A new paper from the UNCOVER team hit the arxiv led by me and including Gourav Khullar, Kate Whitaker, and Jacqueline Antwi-Danso! In the pursuit of the constraints on early universe galaxy formation, we followed up on a candidate old massive galaxy at z~4 with NIRSpec: ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2024arXiv2…

Pysersic v0.1.4 is now available on PyPi, featuring some updates have been kicking around on github. One of the most exciting: multi-band fitting! Given two or more bands of a galaxy, you can fit them jointly and potentially better constrain morphological params.

We are looking for someone to help develop data reduction and analysis software for the 1000-lens Dragonfly array that we're building in Chile. It's a 5 year position in the Dragonfly Focused Research Organization. Thanks for spreading the word! aas.org/jobregister/ad…

This little movie illustrates the "filter tilter" concept of the 1000-lens array we're building in Chile. This is a single telephoto lens, raw 5 minute exposures. We're looking for a new team member to help turn such data into 3D images of cosmic flows! aas.org/jobregister/ad…
