JWST has discovered a rapidly growing black hole in a very active phase, ~1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. Uniquely bright in X-rays, it is accreting at over 4000% of the Eddington limit, offering new insights into early black hole growth. Suh et al.: nature.com/articles/s4155…
.@gbwnzl et al. detect the radio signatures of two forms of cyanopyrene, a small molecular sheet of carbon, in a cold interstellar cloud known for its rich chemistry. Their findings shed light on the origin and fate of carbon matter in interstellar space: nature.com/articles/s4155…
Version 5 of Octofitter released today! (there's nothing else big going on in the news, right?) I call this the "RV release", since there are across-the-board improvements to RV modelling performance and new features. 1/3
We have the newest "Astro Plot of the Week" - congratulations!

Currently Goldstone's 70m antenna DSS14 is supporting Voyager 1. The S-Band signal although tiny still sits proud above the noise letting us know its there.
.@JorgZavala et al. present an in-depth analysis of a JWST-discovered high-redshift galaxy at z=12.33. Combining images with the detection of atomic lines, they found extreme conditions in a bright galaxy, likely associated with a young starburst. nature.com/articles/s4155…
We have the newest "Astro Plot of the Week" - congratulations! And keep them coming, at least for one more week!

✨🔭 Research news! ✨🔭 A new study published in @RAS_Journals' #MNRAS suggests the first picture of the supermassive black hole at the heart of our Milky Way galaxy may not be a true reflection of its appearance. ⚫ Want to find out why? Visit: ras.ac.uk/news-and-press…
Did you know that ASAS-SN is observing THE WHOLE SKY, and that we make our data public? See below! #VariableUniverse
WOW!! Exciting news today. I've been selected as a winner of the National Academies Eric and Wendy Schmidt Awards for Excellence in Science Communications (@SciCommAwards) given by @theNASEM in partnership with @schmidtsciences
Published in #MNRAS: "The masses, structure, and lifetimes of cold clouds in a high-resolution simulation of a low-metallicity starburst", Fotopoulou et al. This is Fig. 1: for the caption & to read the paper please visit academic.oup.com/mnras/article/… @OxfordJournals @RoyalAstroSoc

The GALAH DR4 data release is out! ONE MILLION STARS! Here's our modified element table (including our data for 30 elements) - figure by Sven Buder. The other figures show theoretical time dependencies from Kobayashi, Karakas & Lugaro 2020. @galahsurvey @sifa_astro

Strong near-IR spectral features from asymptotic giant branch stars are detected by JWST in the integrated light from distant quiescent galaxies, clarifying their contribution to galaxy spectra and population synthesis models. Lu, Daddi, Maraston et al.: nature.com/articles/s4155…
