Associate Professor at RIT investigating galaxy evolution. Co-lead of the COSMOS Collaboration. Passionate about public outreach, science communication, and inclusivity. Currently working on all things JWST (especially, COSMOS-Web, CEERS, NGDEEP, PRIMER).
I'm traveling through space!!
The international NASA's James Webb Space Telescope COSMOS-Web team, led by @ritscience.bsky.social researchers, has made an unprecedented amount of information available for future discovery! Explore the largest view deep into the #universe through a searchable catalog now available to the public.
Check out our team's coordinated press release and reach out if you have any questions about the data!
cosmos.astro.caltech.edu/news/87
Our release includes an interactive viewer where you can explore the images, display the spectroscopic redshifts (Khostovan et al. 2025) and information from the photometric catalog (including their full SED, photometric redshift, the cutout images in each filter, and the zPDF).
And finally, Shuntov et al. present the catalog, including photometric measurements in 37 bands (including #jwst, #hst, #spitzer, and ground-based telescopes), physical parameters (like redshift and stellar mass), and morphological parameters.

Then, Harish et al. describe the MIRI data reduction and present the galaxy number counts. arxiv.org/abs/2506.03306
Along with the data, we have released three papers describing the data reduction and catalog process.
First, Franco et al. describe the NIRCam data reduction process and challenges for handling a dataset of this size. arxiv.org/abs/2506.03256
It's finally here! We've just released all of our COSMOS-Web images and catalogs, along with an interactive viewer where you can explore the data! Check it out at: cosmos2025.iap.fr
Recap some of #NASAWebbβs biggest early-universe discoveries (so far) with the astronomers who are doing the science. π π§ͺ

My PhD student Rohan Pattnaik's first paper on the machine learning tool he developed to automatically measure redshifts directly from galaxy spectra, SpecPT, is now out. The results are have surpassed my expectations and I can't wait until we extend this to other datasets!

Hereβs Joel Achenbach for the Washington Post on JWSTβs first year with nice quotes from @janerigby.bsky.social, @jeyhan.bsky.social, @saturnswings.bsky.social and many more! https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2023/07/12/jwst-new-picture-first-year/
Second galaxy to the right and straight on until cosmic dawn! This video takes you on a journey through our CEERS JWST images and cosmic history. Every second we travel 200 Million lightyears into the past on our way to Maisie's Galaxy which existed ~13.4 Billion years ago!
Ok, I do love that with very little effort, I have a feed for Cat pics!
Good to know the tricks! Thanks!
