My first JWST-led paper is out! We studied the abundance and M/L ratio of bright z~7-9 galaxies, selected from independent HST sight lines and confirmed with NIRSpec, as part of the BoRG-JWST survey I'm leading with @BagleyMicaela and @grobertsborsani arxiv.org/abs/2408.00843

New paper today!! For the first time (!) We measure the timescale of black hole accretion and jet launch via observations. We find that both timescales are surprisingly consistent (despite systematic uncertainties) as predicted by theory. Read more here: arxiv.org/abs/2503.16609

Read more about our BoRG-JWST Survey and future key science deliveries in this paper by @grobertsborsani arxiv.org/abs/2407.17551

We also calculate the galaxy stellar masses and find they scale almost linearly with UV luminosity, consistent with stochastic bursts of star formation in early galaxy formation.

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

From the Education Program of @RECAstronomia and with the help of @Astro4Dev we are going to bring astronomy to rural schools in Colombia!! 🇨🇴 If you know rural schools or want to learn more about our project, go to our website: astroreca.org/en/barco-astro…

Desde el nodo de educación de la @RECAstronomia con ayuda de @Astro4Dev vamos a llevar la astronomía a colegios rurales de Colombia!! 🇨🇴 Si conoces colegios rurales o quieres aprender más sobre nuestro proyecto, ve a nuestra página web: astroreca.org/barco-astronom…

🚨Estamos buscando colegios en zonas rurales de Colombia 🚨 Este año tenemos un proyecto que quiere llevar la astronomía a la ruralidad. Si eres un colegio de ruralidad o tienes información, contactanos (whatsapp: +57 322 2959461), correo electrónico reca.educacion@gmail.com ✨✨

Congratulations to Dr Paola Pinilla @MSSLSpaceLab @uclmaps who has been awarded the prestigious 2024 New Horizons in Physics Prize for her work advancing understanding of how planets form @brkthroughprize ucl.ac.uk/news/2023/sep/…

Our work led by @Richarwirman detailing the confirmation of #MaisiesGalaxy is out today in @Nature!

#SS36 Hitchhiker's guide to astronomy education Astronomy: "all cultures are involved in this pursuit (...) even since 40,000 years ago" --Lerothodi Leeuw from U. of the Western Cape Just think about it for a sec. Why do we still have minorities in the field? #EASKrakow2023

@Jurgenvilla @RECAstronomia Jajaja yo hago bien mi trabajo 😆

@Jurgenvilla hablando sobre nuestros programas de @RECAstronomia en el #EAS2023 #EASKrakow2023 🥳 Habro hilo:

@bunchofmelarkey Felicitaciones!! 😎🥳

Hey, so....... I'm a DOCTOR now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check out this poster on the @RECAstronomia Education Program in session #SS36 of the #EASKrakow2023. Learn about our projects bringing astronomy to Colombian schools, observing with professional astronomers and @keckobservatory, and more! k-poster.kuoni-congress.info/eas-2023/poste… #EAS2023

Finalmente, el programa de Educación: traemos la astronomía a estudiantes de colegio y a veces los ponemos a observar en el @keckobservatory con astrónomos profesionales de @ucsc astroreca.org/en/educacion

El programa de Internship: Justo estamos empezando la pasantes de verano 2023! 3 chicas y 3 chicas colombianos han sido seleccionados este año para trabajar en proyectos profesionales en Astronomía astroreca.org/en/internship

Thanks @mananascuatro ! An exciting field to begin exploring for sure! #EASKrakow2023
