Another one of our #JWST #ERS1328 papers hit the arXiv when I was busy with #AAS241 so apologies for the late post -- this one led by Jeff Rich is about the intriguing nature of the nuclear cores in #VV114, complete with #NIRSpec and #MRS SPECTRA!! You know you want to read this for your #JWSTCycle2 proposal... 😉

From Jeff: "We found an AGN where we didn’t expect to, no AGN where others had predicted one, and interesting ISM properties that require a lot more analyses."

Another one of our #jwstgoals #ers1328 galaxies -- #NGC7469 -- is now featured on the ESA blog as Picture of the Month 🤩

See Armus+22 for the detailed AGN spectrum; U+22 for the AGN outflow, Lai+22 for the dust grain sizes, and Bohn+22 for the young stars in the ring!

Fans of #jwstgoals:
@seanlinden will be up next (11:15am ET) talking about hidden star formation in #VV114 at the #JWSTFirstResults meeting! Tune in to hear about what Sean found in this spectacular system using data from #JWST #ers1328!

Achievement unlocked! ✅ Our #jwstgoals #ers1328 #NGC7469 paper is featured on #AASNova #astrobites -- my favorite external perspective of our #JWST study of AGN outflow 🤩

And this is how I had imagined astronomy could bring world peace... 😂

"This new [JWST] image of a pair of galaxies, known to astronomers as II ZW 96, was first previewed for Vice President Kamala Harris and French President Emmanuel Macron during a visit to NASA Headquarters in Washington Wednesday, Nov. 30. "

What a fun day hanging out with GOALies at #Caltech for the #PBS #Nova filming! I'm sure most of my parts will be edited out given how much I fumbled during my interview about #JWST #ERS #ERS1328 🤪 Nevertheless getting to talk science with colleagues in person and giving them a campus tour around #Tech was really fun!

Overall this was a fun paper to work on given the impressive #JWST #MRS data from #ERS1328, made possible thanks to my #GOALS collaborators on and off Mastodon. Looking forward to more exciting science from this fantastic dataset! 10/10
