  1. About the #JWSTCycle2 program of observations, there are only 5 proposals selected in the "Large Scale Structure of the Universe" category 👀
    Tully+ got the larger time allocation!
    Also, looking very much forward this Scrutiny of the Dirtiest Cepheids...

  2. Congratulations to Brent Tully and co-investigators for getting observing time on the JWST!

    NIRCam targets: 14 elliptical galaxies to study the connection between TRGB and SBF distance scales and improve the accuracy on the Hubble Constant.

  3. Todays #JWSTCycle2 tweets are in many ways remarkably similar to yesterday's #Eurovision       reactions...

  4. So did anyone actually get #JWSTCycle2 time or was everyone rejected flat out?

    (I have many, many sad astro friends right now.)

  5. The worst bit was receiving absolutely no email, and then hearing from colleagues that "oh, the approval emails have stopped - now they are only sending rejections" #JWSTCycle2

  6. Aaaaand there's a rejection.

    I went 4/4 last year, and had 2 successes before a rejection came in this year. I don't know if it's an unbeatable record, but, especially considering it started in Cycle 1, temporarily going 6-for-6 was a pretty great start. #JWSTCycle2

  7. Very lucky to have an amazing team at the OU and collaborators worldwide & now #JWSTCycle2 is done various paper drafts are landing… But it’s a lot… <gulp> 194 pages 😳😲 I hope folk won’t mind if comments don’t arrive straight away… #astrodon

  8. How do other runners decide how much to rest? Finally cracked the 6 minute barrier over 1 mile #running, for the first time in about 2 years. A v light recovery run-week during a v heavy work-week last week did something… #UKRunChat #JWSTCycle2 #astrodon

  9. Any ideas as to which science instrument got the most #JWSTCycle2 helpdesk tickets? 👀 (total tickets in the 2 months before the cycle 2 deadline, so could also include those from existing programs)

  10. Interesting #jwstcycle2 helpdesk stats: we actually got fewer tickets than for cycle 1 over the 2-month period before the deadline. I hope this means we did a decent job at providing the tools, training and documentation to help everyone!

  11. Here you go #astrodon! Someone shared this in slack. Significantly more than Cycle 1 and all Hubble cycles on this plot 😱 I'm curious how Cycle 3 will shape up since it's in only 9 months 🫠

  12. And here's the final Unofficial count of #JWST #JWSTCycle2 submissions. Looks like it cracked 1600! There are going to be a lot of sad Blacker emails later this year.

  13. As a seasoned astronomer, I'm astonished

    Astonished this isn't presented as a log-log plot

  14. Reports coming in that it broke 4350 just before the deadline. #JWSTCycle2

  15. #JWST #JWSTCycle2 proposals broke into the 4300's. It was at ~2900 on Wednesday, so, assuming ~100 submissions prior to that, we're looking at ~1500 submissions? Cycle 1 had 1,173 proposals make it to Peer Review.

    Yikes!

  16. Been a stressful week of #JWST proposals.

    The Friday Night Pint will definitely taste a little bit sweeter tonight!! #JWSTcycle2

  17. #JWSTCycle2 deadline day is of course the perfect day to have your (admittedly overdue for replacement) glasses break… grateful to past me who kept the previous pair as emergency spares.

  18. Team Expertise:

    @justtheletteru is an expert of trimming and squeezing text to fit within the page limit.

  19. Anyone on #astrodon know if Molly Peeples is tracking proposal submissions this Cycle?

    If so, please share the link! And any of the plots!

    #JWSTCycle2

  20. It's official, I'm now dreaming about APT, groups, integrations, dithers, ETC....

    Roll on the #JWSTCycle2 deadline

  21. Either I'm going crazy or APT is playing with my head by taking away the 'Run Smart Accounting' button from the Proposal Information Form Editor next to the Charged Time box 😵‍💫

  22. Dude! Being struck by Covid-19 in the last week before #JWSTCycle2 deadline is *so* not cool! 😡

  23. Everyone: [working hard on #JWSTCycle2 proposal writing and/or ETC+APT]
    Me: [looking up how to make histogram plots with pandas data frame]

  24. 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."
