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 https://t.co/XOxDQSg38k

New paper today!🤠
For a sample of star-forming galaxies at z ≈ 4 from the EXCELS survey, we measure the electron temperatures, densities, and the Ar/O and Ne/O abundance ratios. Our main result is that Ar/O is lower at high-z compared to local sources!

Very nice new article published on @astrobites about my most recent paper https://t.co/D7VbYGOr3s

Very happy to have contributed to this article in @NatureAstronomy about my Bagpipes software, and thanks very much to @dr_paul_woods, I think access code is a great idea! https://t.co/8N2ttCyvIu

@grobertsborsani @ucl Congratulations!

Someone tell @Darudevil

@royalsociety @NASAWebb The light travel time is 13.5 billion years, but neither the comoving nor the proper distance is 13.5 billion light years.

[Adam Carnall @ACCarnall]

Happy to have contributed to this article on @ice_in_cosmos's excellent new paper!

Some galaxies hailing from the infant universe may already hold vast populations of old stars.

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.

[Adam Carnall @ACCarnall]

@VNathir Thanks for the photo, hope you don’t mind if I use it, good luck with your talk!

[Adam Carnall @ACCarnall]

@midgov I moved out of Midlothian six months ago, notified you in advance, and I'm still getting demands for council tax. Obviously, I can't get through to anyone on the phone. Please sort out your pathetic organisation, stop threatening me, and pay me the money that you owe me.

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

[Adam Carnall @ACCarnall]

@sarahkendrew Yeah Scottish Borders

[Adam Carnall @ACCarnall]

Mess about in Iceland for a week looking for them, then the next week they come right to your back door. #aurora #NorthernLights

[Adam Carnall @ACCarnall]

OMG!

[Adam Carnall @ACCarnall]

Thanks very much to all my co-authors, who helped me avoid several pitfalls whilst writing this paper, and look out for plenty more EXCELS results in the near future. Finally, I'll leave you with some music to listen to whilst you're reading the paper 3/3 https://t.co/UJQ11XJdep

[Adam Carnall @ACCarnall]

Too much, too young, too fast? The first results from mine and @FergusLPCullen's EXCELS JWST Cycle 2 programme are out today. We show beautiful new spectra for 4 ultra-massive galaxies that formed way too many stars when the Universe was way too young 1/3 https://t.co/K9ca8EdwcS

[Adam Carnall @ACCarnall]

In fact these galaxies are right on the edge of what can be accommodated by our current model of cosmology, and only then by forming all their gas directly into stars, a process that's normally ~10% efficient. Many thanks to @chrisclovell for helping me set up this comparison 2/3
