Just testing the next release of skycalpro. This update will extend the output of one of the options. Will launch later in the week.
Dev working. I haven't tried staging it yet, but I think this one will go up easily. More soon...

I have been a little slow on the development side of skycalpro. I'm optimising some backend code at the moment and it's proving to be a headache. Hoping to make a new release soon. I will see good improvements on my side, you will not notice much difference on yours. #AstroMethods skycalpro.com

Interesting work by Andrew Householder+. They use 8 hours of #JWST/MIRI LRS to search for satellites around the nearby brown dwarf binary Luhman 16 with the transit method.
They don't find any, but are sensitive to objects as small as our Moon.

Astronomical Data Analysis Software & Systems meetings have been held since 1991. Sessions cover key topics like data compression. Pete Marenfeld of NOAO created this evocative poster. Science and engineering are at the core of what makes us human across all scales of the Universe.

After my last membership analysis of M37, I wonder if DBSCAN is also a good choice for other clusters with different distances and ages. I'll run the Jupyter Notebook with other clusters and publish the results #Astromethods #Astronomy

Do the feeds just need more time? For example, astromethods looks empty. Maybe obvious candidates, like @asclnet.bsky.social just haven’t found it yet? Especially if accounts like that are automated.

Given that this is just about *replicating* papers - not even doing something novel - it's worth remembering that, despite all of the marketing and hype, we are a very very long way away from AI tools autonomously conducting novel research. 🔭☄️ #astromethods

Hot-wiring the Transient Universe 5 was the final one in the original poster series. I had left NOAO by the time of the meeting in 2016, and NOAO was soon descoped & reorganized. The 5th workshop was the first organized by a university department, a model that continues.
