"Oversubscription of 18:1" ☠️ And also: "Due to the increasing number of proposals, and with the goal of fairly distributing the review activity, JWST proposers may be expected to serve as reviewers in future cycles." #JWST 🔭 www.stsci.edu/contents/new...

New paper day! 🥂 Check out some beautiful spectra of Cosmic Noon galaxies with MIRI’s brand new wide-field slitless spectroscopy mode and what we can learn from the PAH features we can now detect very efficiently over a wide redshift range. arxiv.org/abs/2609.16239

#NASARoman activated the Wide Field Instrument—a 300-megapixel infrared camera that will allow it to explore wide swaths of the cosmos quickly. This test image captures the very first photons of starlight to reach the instrument—taken as an initial performance assessment: https://go.nasa.gov/4rg4qEc

I am delighted to say that I have been awarded an #ERC Starting Grant!! For the next 5 years I will lead a group as Asst Prof at the Dept of Astronomy at the University of Geneva #UNIGE. We will use JWST&VLT observations to provide a 3D view of reionisation and its sources, and prepare for SKA/ELT!
