wow✨ @PHANGSteam @NASAWebb imaging of NGC628 is being turned into a US POSTAGE STAMP✉️!! The imaging has truly taken a life of its own. Grateful for the amazing village of collaborators, comms folks, @USPS for bringing the universe to people's doorsteps. space.com/usps-james-webb-sp…

ahoy! i've got a new paper out today (with accompanying python package) on how we can best fit complicated spectra for interstellar medium studies. because if i'm one thing, it's lazy enough to not want to fit millions of spectra by hand. arxiv.org/abs/2409.03835 (1/11)

so, takeaways: 1) the ism is complex 2) characterising that is hard but doable 3) you should absolutely be doing it mcfine is open-source and pip installable (pip install mcfine), so please go and use it for your science! (11/11)
