Well, I'm leaving. See you on blue sky or in real life!

@karlglazebrook More like +20% it seems.. but likely twice as much requested time per proposal!

@astro_rameyer I am betting with half the pages they are going to get twice as many.

Well, it looks like last year's record number of proposals is already broken #jwst #cycle4

@maximetrebitsch >2300 😭😭😭😭

Just wanted to quickly advertise a really exciting new result just obtained by ALMA involving the detection (6.6 sigma) of the [OIII]88 line at z=14.1793 put together by an awesome PhD student in Leiden with the name of Sander Schouws. The [OIII]88 line detection was found by

Are you an ECR? Do you like #JWST ? High-z galaxies/SMBHs? Skiing/curling/ice-skating in the Swiss Alps? Applications are now open for the 54th Saas-Fee Course on "Galaxies and Black Holes in the 1 Gyr as seen with the JWST" - Jan 27-31, 2025 - more info: astro.unige.ch/saasfee2025/

our press release is spreading! :O space.com/james-webb-spa…

Grant rejection, observing proposal rejections, and the childcare place suddenly closing down for good. And it's only Wednesday! 😭😭

Never complain again about JWST/ALMA being oversubscribed: "The number of hours requested by proposals in period 114 on UT4 amounted to 28.7 the available time" 🤯🤯🤯

Io, satellite of Jupiter, seen in visible band with an adaptive optics system on the Large Binocular Telescope located in Arizona. We can now say than AO on ground-based telescope is now better than space telescopes even in optical. buff.ly/3KlRzvE

🆕 Webb has found a galaxy observed just 290 million years after the Big Bang! 💥 Read more: esawebb.org/images/jades4/ or 🧵👇

Tagging some of the FRESCO team members I could still find here: @Introspect_Rych @Rohan_Naidu @jorryt_m @DrJMatharu @OeschPascal @gbrammer @Thomerard

Let me finish this thread by thanking the FRESCO team without which this would not be possible, as well as everyone who has contributed and/or contributes to making JWST a phenomenal observatory for high-redshift science.

Two weeks ago I posted to the arXiv the result of an unbiased search for 6.8<z<9.0 [OIII] emitters in the GOODS fields using FRESCO data. Lots of high-z galaxies, interesting constraints for theorists, and hopefully lots of legacy science. arxiv.org/abs/2405.05111
