And here it is... after a pandemic, a baby, and moving to (literally) the other side of the world 😍
Take a look at our beautiful paper on the study of the intra-group light in a GAMA group of galaxies at z=0.2 using @SubaruTel_Eng HSC-PDR2 data.

Paper day! Our first-ever paper: conference proceedings from IAUS 377 🥳🦎

[Alejandro S. Borlaff @asborlaff]

New paper today in @arxiv! Extragalactic magnetism with SOFIA (SALSA Legacy Program) - V: First results on the magnetic field orientation of galaxies.

https://t.co/79v18hK6Rt

Check out the magnetic field structure of the 14 galaxies observed in FIR with @SOFIAtelescope!

WEAVE First Light. The ING and the WEAVE team present first-light observations with the WEAVE spectrograph. WEAVE is a powerful, next-generation multi-fibre spectrograph on the WHT, now being commissioned on-sky and already generating high-quality data. https://t.co/Xh1ujidrZt

JWST images of planetary nebula NGC3132 show that it hosts at least four stars rather than two! A dusty central disk hides a close binary interaction while there is evidence for two more stars within the nebula. @OrsolaDemarco1 et al.: https://t.co/kUMBejd88D

Un estudio del #IACastrofísica obtiene, utilizando datos del telescopio James #Webb, el análisis más completo hasta la fecha de la luz intracumular, una luz difusa que proviene de estrellas en cúmulos de galaxias que no están unidas gravitacionalmente.

About that "but having no HST/JWST proprietary period means that science will happen faster" argument:

Geez, people, we're doing astronomy, not delivering a cure for cancer.

Press release!
Using a new technique, the team has observed intra-group light - stray stars ripped away from their parent #galaxies that we don't know much about; led by @cmlombilla and setting the stage for future missions

[Cristina Martínez-Lombilla @cmlombilla]

Check out the excellent press release by the @UNSWScience media team (thank you Jesse!) showing
our recently published work about the study of intra-group light (IGL) in a very distant group of galaxies (for the Astro people, z=0.2 😉).

[UNSW Science @UNSWScience]

The story behind 'intra-group light' – an elusive dim glow between galaxies - has been revealed!
It's a tale of stray stars, stripped from their home galaxies, that has now been brought to light by pioneering research led by @UNSW physicist Dr @cmlombilla:

This work was published last week at #MNRAS @RAS_Journals and its available here: https://t.co/CigTp7td9Q

And if you are looking for pretty images 😉, here you have our group of galaxies (indicated with arrows) and the gorgeous intra-group light we have measured 💜
