While it is too luminous by pre-JWST standards, it aligns well with the new models of galaxy formation inspired by JWST observations

Looking forward! And totally understand!

Ooh! Are you accepting nominations? :) ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2025arXi...

We'll know the fate of our Pop III candidate (and learn a lot about ultra-faint galaxies!) this summer thanks to our recently approved DDT program. Stay tuned!

My favorite quote from the article, courtesy Tim Beers, alluding to the Milky Way's own ultra-faint satellites that seem quite primordial themselves: “I find it exciting that you can draw a straight line from what we see around the Milky Way to this proposed birthplace.”

It was an absolute joy working with @sfseiji.bsky.social on this grand adventure that began at this year's Hubble Symposium, with John Chisholm and @dyonysos.bsky.social -- the fearless leaders of GLIMPSE, and with our team mates who put countless hours into making these data science-ready!

I'll end this thread with some purple prose that didn't quite make it into the final draft.

In the mean time, with the clean selection technique, we can already place strong constraints on the # density of such sources that our theorist friends can match their models against! These #s matter for e.g., LISA black hole merger rates and whether Roman might detect Pop III supernovae!
