@bunsenbernerbmd Can Brix go as a hamster and Jason as Minsk from Baldur’s Gate?

[Jan Scholtz, Logic Wizard @astrojansen]

@bunsenbernerbmd The fact that Bernoulli was born on April 1st just explains a lot...

[Jan Scholtz, Logic Wizard @astrojansen]

@bunsenbernerbmd The professor, postdoc and PhD student

@bunsenbernerbmd I cant spot if this is Bunsen and Bernoulli :)

[Pablo Pérez González @PGPerezGonzalez]

Our paper on the Jekyll massive quiescent galaxy and its surroundings is finally published in @NatureAstronomy today!

@bunsenbernerbmd yaaaay I was looking forward to Bunsen story the whole week!

[Jan Scholtz, Logic Wizard @astrojansen]

@MattP1Gallagher jinxed it!

[Jan Scholtz, Logic Wizard @astrojansen]

@thephysicsgirl we discovered tonnes of cool galaxies with JWSt, from the most distant galaxes to active black holes, Little Red Dots, weird nitrogen loud galaxies etc. Happy to help with catching up

[Jan Scholtz, Logic Wizard @astrojansen]

@bunsenbernerbmd I love the pupdate! It is a great way to start the week and always cheers me up in the office.

@bunsenbernerbmd The battle bear!

[Jan Scholtz, Logic Wizard @astrojansen]

@DARSHANKAKKAD congratulations!

The annual Kavli JWST panic pizza happened again last night. Making sure we feed people submitting last-minute proposals that they started the day before. Because the best ideas come <24 hours before the deadline.

@WebbFeed Hello. Sorry but this is the most distant galaxy JADES-gsz14. It was discovered by JWST and published in May. The study above was based on new data from the ALMA observatory and it refined the distance to the galaxy. I hope this helps.

[Jan Scholtz, Logic Wizard @astrojansen]

@Introspect_Rych @stefanocarniani Thank you! I played a much smaller role in the paper. Congrats on your paper as well! I am so happy two teams confirmed this!

[Jan Scholtz, Logic Wizard @astrojansen]

We detected oxygen in a galaxy at z=14.18ish, refining the redshift. @stefanocarniani led the paper and we also confirmed the detection of carbon from JWST. https://t.co/pjBN1JQcO2

There is so much cool stuff to go over. The fact that we were able to constrain the density and metallicity of the gas. Or the fact that looking at the dynamical mass, we found a very low gas fraction. This galaxy is probably very gas-poor! Outflows in the past?

[Jan Scholtz, Logic Wizard @astrojansen]

@bunsenbernerbmd Bunsen or Bernoulli?

[Joris Witstok @JorisWitstok]

We confirmed the tiny green blob below to be a galaxy so distant it is seen when the Universe was only 2% of its current age, and… its spectrum came out as a huge surprise! 📈🔭 Read more in the excellent summary by @Kevin_Hainline who first discovered this galaxy 👇
