Space Fluff

1. What is #SpaceFluff? In a nutshell, it's #CitizenScience project on the #zooniverse platform that aims at the identifying an classifying dim objects ( or Fluffy Faints) in the Fornax cluster Join us and get a taste for these elusive galaxies! zooniverse.org/projects/sundi…

Proud to share with you our latest paper about the photometric decompositions of galaxies in the FDS led by Alan Su: arxiv.org/abs/2101.05699 The paper includes structural analysis of more then 500 dwarfs and other galaxies in the Fornqx cluster.

We are officially done! @the_zooniverse, thank you for your wonderful platform, and a huge huge thank you to all the volunteers that contributed. Looking forward to the science that will come out of this!

Just three days ago, the Estimated Time of Completion for the project was 20 days. Now it's 7. Whoever gets to manage this project after me better treat the volunteers right😤 you all always always defy expectations

sweet, sweet progress

New milestone? New milestone. Thank you thank you thank you!!

Half way there! Happy 2021🎉🎉🎉

Happy new year, happy hunting, and stay fluffy, healthy, and kind

What about the future? Once the project is over, all the images and data will be made public. We decided we wanted to make as much as possible the citizens part of the science. Stay tuned, and contact us if you'd like analyze the results: we look forward to working with you

It's the last day of 2020, and here at #SpaceFluff we want to wish everyone the best possible future in the new year. I started working (on and off) on this project a week before lockdown, and tomorrow will be my official last day. It's been quite the ride

How are my volunteers so nice

Coming back from the holidays and seeing more than 100 new pages of comments on the project sure gets you back to work with a smile! I hope I can catch up with all of your questions💪💪💪

Interested in the wonders in our universe? Did you know you can help to classify them with citizen-science project @the_zooniverse project @fluff_space? zooniverse.org/projects/sundi…

A good Monday to everybody! On our second week of launch, we are starting to see some color in the 'complete' bar: barely there but so significant and full of surprises, just like our galaxies!

These histograms really tell a story: from our beta launch in September, to the current launch, #zooniverse volunteers have been receptive and enthusiastic- and a pleasure to talk to!

Really amazing to see how far we have come: our main workflow in ~20 days away from being completed (not taking the holidays into account, of course) and daily classifications are still going up!

With new volunteers joining the fun, and classifications adding up, we are starting to see our first few completed subjects! Can't wait to do some sweet sweet science on them
