More cool work by the @ceers_jwst team!

#NASAWebb is helping connect the dots! 🔴 A team of astronomers scoured multiple Webb surveys to assemble a large sample of “little red dots”—intriguing objects that mostly existed during the first 1.5 billion years after the big bang: bit.ly/4j9SVtm #AAS245

Anyone else tear up when finishing rec letters for former advisees? Or just me?


Hey @nationalcares the last two times I’ve rented cars I have filled the tank full less than five miles from the airport, yet we’re getting charged for not filling it full. What fresh new scam is this?!

The 1st glimpses of the early universe from #NASAWebb found galaxies much more massive than expected. New research led by @UTAstronomy grad student Katherine Chworowsky reveals those galaxies weren’t too big for their britches after all. Find out why: cns.utexas.edu/news/research/…

The @UTAustin Cosmic Frontier Center has submitted an application for a @sxsw 2025 panel to discuss exciting observations in the early universe from @NASAWebb . Please vote for us here! panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/148588


Hear me explain our most recent paper about @ceers_jwst observations of the early universe!

In this AAS Journal Author Series video, Steve Finkelstein (@utaustin) chats about his article on galaxies: youtube.com/watch?v=sl6jv-… The goal of this series is to connect authors w/their article, their human story & the larger #astronomy community. #ExploreAstronomy #TheGoodStuff

Very excited to share our very recent results from the BoRG-JWST survey! These are the first JWST/NIRSpec confirmations of luminous z~7-9 galaxies selected from pure-parallel HST WFC3 imaging! Survey overview : arxiv.org/abs/2407.17551 z~7-9 UVLF : arxiv.org/abs/2408.00843


Well, this is pretty dang cool, from @Jeopardy last night, featuring our @ceers_jwst discovery!
