Massive respect to whoever asked for 500-1000 hours of JWST time

Looks like Christmas is coming a little early this year!

Happy to have contributed to this BBC article about two years of JWST! I'm also popping up on BBC News throughout the day talking about JWST discoveries so far with Profs Gillian Wright and Mark McCaughrean. bbc.com/news/resources…

The first half of mine and Fergus Cullen's JWST Cycle 2 EXCELS programme was observed just before Christmas and the results are looking pretty stunning. For more than a year we've only had data like this for one high-redshift massive quiescent galaxy, now it's quite a few more!

I'm happy to present our new paper on the UV luminosity function at z=9-15! We use a combination of the PRIMER, JADES and NGDEEP surveys covering 370 sq.arcmin. and reaching depths of 30 AB mag in the deepest region. 1/6 arxiv.org/abs/2403.03171

What do Australian hard rock band Airbourne and the first massive quiescent galaxies to appear in the Universe have in common with each other? Find out on tomorrow morning’s ArXiv

Just had an absolutely spectacular 20 minutes, way brighter than it was before and many more colours.

Very much enjoyed my flying visit to #EAS2024Padova to present a review on the first massive quiescent galaxies. Many thanks to the organisers for inviting me, I’m sure it’ll be a great rest of the week.

Happy to have contributed to this article on Bingjie Wang's excellent new paper!

Someone tell Darude

Very happy to have contributed to this article in Nature Astronomy about my Bagpipes software, and thanks very much to Paul Woods, I think access code is a great idea! nature.com/articles/s4155…

Very nice new article published on astrobites about my most recent paper astrobites.org/2024/10/23/qui…

The job ad has just gone live for a 3-year postdoc position in my group at Edinburgh University, working on high-redshift galaxy evolution with JWST and MOONS. The deadline for applications is a month today on 20th December elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…
