Check out our new Nature paper on the discovery of a z = 5.7 cluster with X-ray emission. With Akos Bogdan, Gerrit Schellenberger and @QiongLi_astro arxiv.org/abs/2601.19978 manchester.ac.uk/about/news/nas…

The number of things people think are infinite but finite is infinite.

Scary list -- this is what happens when Universities are run as businesses and one major source of income isn't permitted to rise for almost 15 years. qmucu.org/qmul-transform…

Discovery of a dual AGN at z = 5.4 within a nebula, showing large scale structure and galaxy formation occurring very early in the universe using JWST and VLT data. Paper led by Manchester post-doc Qiong Li is now accepted and published! academic.oup.com/mnras/advance-…

We argue in this paper against the dominate view that LRDs are AGN through SED fitting and a very low clustering. Have a look! iopscience.iop.org/article/10.384…

Our paper, led by Manchester undergraduate and soon to be Oxford PhD student, María Carranza-Escudero, on the Little Red Dots (LRDs) is now published in ApJ letters.

Always nice when people use Betteridge's law of headlines. arxiv.org/abs/2507.12213

Interesting comparison of Euclid vs. Rubin imaging - first one I've seen! arxiv.org/abs/2507.01942

First Rubin/LSST images released today. You can clearly see this plus @ESA_Euclid is really going to open up the diffuse light universe!

@NatAdAstra Good luck Nathan!

It’s been an amazing few years and a privilege to work on the frontlines with JWST. I thank @conselice for providing me this unique opportunity. I also thank the high-z groups in Manchester, Oxford, Cambridge, Sussex, Portsmouth, Warwick & Edinburgh who assisted me in my job hunt

Well the time has come. Unfortunately the last 2 yrs on the academic job market in the UK hasn’t been fruitful, partly due to dwindling funding opportunities and partly to my own personal restrictions on location/moving. As a result I’ll be leaving Astronomy in a months time. 🫡

@astrogrant Must be citations to this survey, right? delve-survey.github.io

just fyi 👀

Joint PhD between Manchester and Tsinghua University to study galaxies and large scale structure in the early universe with the first two years in Manchester. Tight deadline however - April 21st. findaphd.com/phds/project/u…

New Manchester University PhD Fellowship for students from Africa. se.manchester.ac.uk/study/postgrad…

New Gravitational Lens system found with JWST in the North Ecliptic Pole (NEP) field, led by @NatAdAstra. The second highest redshift lens known and nearly a full Einstein ring! arxiv.org/abs/2504.03571

How sad, but what a great mission Gaia was!
