Talk slides and recordings are now available for #IRWorkshop2022!! We thank everyone who participated in the workshop for making it a great success and we thank those in person for masking/social distancing to prevent the spread of COVID-19. 🙌casa.colorado.edu/~mema5817/…

Get in, Roman; we are going to L2! @NASA has announced that the Roman Space Telescope will launch on the @SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from @NASAKennedy. 🚀

The opportunity to propose for #JWST Director's Discretionary Time is now available. Get the details: bit.ly/3IR6tbz
🚨🚨 Science data for #Webb's first images now available: webbtelescope.pub/3PnahmR

#NASAWebb has detected the distinct signature of water—along with evidence for clouds and haze—on the hot, puffy gas giant planet known as WASP-96 b: webbtelescope.pub/WASP96b
ALT Graphic titled “Hot Gas Giant Exoplanet WASP-96 b Atmosphere Composition, NIRISS Single-Object Slitless Spectroscopy.” The graphic shows the transmission spectrum of the hot gas giant exoplanet WASP-96 b captured using Webb's NIRISS Single-Object Slitless Spectroscopy with an illustration of the planet and its star in the background. The data points are plotted on a graph of amount of light blocked in parts per million versus wavelength of light in microns. A curvy blue line represents a best-fit model. Four prominent peaks visible in the data and model are labeled “water, H 2 O.”

Last night we used our 0.6m telescope to observe the same part of the sky recently imaged by @NASAWebb to test its Fine Guidance Sensor. Quite a difference! Less than 48 hours until the release of the first images. #UnfoldTheUniverse

President Joe Biden will release one of #NASAWebb’s first images in a preview event on Monday at 5 p.m. EDT at the White House. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson will provide remarks. A live stream of the event will be available on NASA TV: nasa.gov/nasalive

Globs of bright, beautiful dust. New images using data from four retired space telescopes provide a view of dust & gas that fill the space between stars in neighboring galaxies. The particles are exposed in far-infrared and radio light in these photos. go.nasa.gov/3xXZaez

A host of massive young stars ✨captured by #NSFfunded @GeminiObs in an unprecedented sky survey. These new suns & their dusty, swirling, planet-forming disks are likely to become new solar systems. bit.ly/3NVeGgC

@SOFIAtelescope will be ending operations in just a few months. This means that we will soon have no observatories operating in the far-infrared - the wavelength gap between JWST (which goes out to ~30 microns) and ALMA (which picks up at ~500 microns). We need to fill this gap!
NASA’s SOFIA telescope has provided observations in infrared light & made discoveries about the hidden universe. After a successful eight years of science NASA & its partner @DLR_en will conclude the mission, with operations ending no later than Sept. 30:

Alignment of the James Webb Space Telescope is now complete!👏 These new engineering images of sharply focused stars in the field of view of each instrument demonstrate that #Webb is fully aligned and in focus. Learn more here: blogs.nasa.gov/webb/2022/04/… 📷 : NASA/STScI

Today, the paper presenting the new version of the SIDES empirical simulation is out. The simulation now includes far-IR/mm continuum together with CO, CI, and CII. The Python code is also released. The paper discuss extensively the [CII] intensity mapping arxiv.org/abs/2204.12827

Thread on a few recent post-starburst galaxy papers to come out. Dalya Baron led a paper out today (arxiv.org/abs/2204.11881) where we look at the total IR - based SFRs for several samples of PSB galaxies.
