Molecular hydrogen in the extremely metal- and dust-poor galaxy Leo P - Nature
Observations from the JWST MIRI-MRS instrument reveal the detection of rotational emission from molecular hydrogen near the only O-type star in the 3% solar metallicity galaxy Leo P, providing confirm...

Delighted that the first paper from our Cy2 JWST program was published today, reporting the discovery of molecular hydrogen in the 3% Solar metallicity galaxy Leo P. This was a very fun project with @karinsandstrom.bsky.social strom.bsky.social and fabulous co-authors! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Wow!!! This makes me VERY proud to be a UW Astro alum!
Today is the happiest day of the academic year: Astronomy Department Graduation... and the release of our annual faculty music video. Please enjoy "Astro U-Dub"

It brightened my day to come across this image from our JWST Cycle 1 program targeting my favorite galaxy, Leo P, in my feed! Check out the new measurement of its ancient star formation history from this data, led by the incomparable Kristy McQuinn: ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2024ApJ....
Oh come ON now. This new JWST image is just ASTOUNDING.
I feel like I’m falling looking into it, and that I would fall forever, and that I would enjoy it.
