So super, duper proud of @secutler on being awarded a JWST Cycle 3 program! 🥹
Very excited to announce our JWST Cycle 3 proposal was awarded time! Thank you to @astrowhit and the rest of the UNCOVER team for all your hard work to make this happen! Stay tuned for more from the Relic!

What an honor and privilege to work with this data here @UMassAmherst! Go team UNCOVER! 🤩
It’s a great big universe…
Webb’s new view of Pandora’s Cluster stitches 4 snapshots together into a panorama, showing 3 separate galaxy clusters merging into a megacluster and some 50,000 sources of near-infrared light. go.nasa.gov/3E7zmPu
ALT A crowded galaxy field on a black background, with one large star dominating the image just right of center. Three areas are concentrated with larger white hazy blobs on the left, lower right, and upper right above the single star. Scattered between these areas are many smaller sources of light; some also have a hazy white glow, while many other are red or orange. Even without zooming in, different galaxy shapes are detectable, like spirals, ovals, and arcs.

5/ In the lensing core to the lower right, Webb revealed hundreds of distant lensed galaxies that appear like faint arced lines in the image. Read more about this image here: esawebb.org/images/weic2305a…

Calling all astronomers: it is paper day! 🚨
First public release of the #JWST UNCOVER Treasury Program and boy is it a treasure trove! 🤯🤩
You can find all of the images here 👇

Publication day! Very proud to lead a team that discovered the first kilonova following a long-duration gamma-ray burst, breaking with the long-held traditional GRB paradigm. A short 🧵on our discovery:

Amazing galaxy in the new JWST UNCOVER imaging of Abel 2744!
It's probably experiencing ram pressure stripping by hot gas in the cluster. The data were reduced by @gbrammer . There will be a paper on the first data soon!

Another awesome UMass Astronomy grad student feature for the DAWN-IRES Scholars Program: @secutler!
Sam is spending his 2nd summer visiting @DAWNCopenhagen, this time in a leadership position... get to know him below 👇

Check out the widest ever near-infrared image taken by Hubble! Part of a recent paper by Lamiya Mowla, with contributions from myself and the rest of the 3D-DASH team.

New HLSP: 3D-DASH (Mowla et al. 2022, incl. @iva_momcheva, @astrowhit, @gbrammer, @DokkumPieter). The widest HST/WFC3 imaging survey in the F160W filter ever, covering 1.43 square degrees and 1256 individual WFC3 pointings in the COSMOS field.

New paper alert!
In this work, PhD Student Jillian Rastinejad and team collect and analyze over 650 optical candidate counterparts to events from the third GW observing run, eliminating >90% of them as viable kilonovae using publicly-available tools.
