The new high-level C++ API of the SuperNOVAS astrometry library is inching closer by the day. It will enhance SuperNOVAS with a brand new API that will be on par with astropy in terms of simplicity and elegance, only much-much faster. Stay tuned! #astrocode

As an example science application, they apply the code to a JWST survey searching for distant galaxies. By improving the depth of the photometry in every band, they treble the number of z>9 sources identified in the survey field.

The code learns the detector noise characteristics and focusses on only noise-dominated parts of the image. In a test survey with 168 exposures, they give only 8 of them to the ASTERIS algorithm. The code recovers the same sources as appear in the deeper stack. ☄️🔭 #astrocode

Can astronomical imaging be more sensitive, with no additional observations?
Guo et al. apply machine learning to the co-addition (stacking) of multiple exposures. For stacks of 8 JWST NIRCam exposures, the detection limit improves by 1 magnitude. ☄️🔭 #astrocode

This image is a composite of artist's illustrations of NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope pointing towards a lengthy collection of exoplanets against a background image of the Galactic Plane. The text says "2026 Sagan Summer Workshop" and the theme "Exoplanets with Roman Surveys: Microlensing and Transits July 20-24, 2026, Pasadena, California" followed by the hashtag #sagan2026.
⏰Time to Register for #sagan2026⏰
The hybrid workshop focuses on expected #exoplanet science from the @nasaromantelescope.bsky.social Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey. Travel support requests for early-career participants are due 3/5. nexsci.caltech.edu/workshop/2026

Social media is essential for outreach and communication. So why should a single bad actor be able to destroy it? 🔭☄️
We don't think that should be the case, and that's why we're building The Astrosky Ecosystem - starting with the Astronomy feeds.
We now have a paper about our project! #astrocode

If you are user of the Python package Pandas, I cannot recommend switching to Polars highly enough. #astrocode
I'm doing some groupbys for some plots, and a complicated set of string & numerical operations on *25 million rows* takes just 3 seconds on my laptop.
The Pandas equivalent: 2+ minutes. 🤯
