New in JOSS: PST is designed for astronomy researchers, especially those working in extragalactic astrophysics
and stellar population synthesis, who require a flexible and extensible Python-based toolkit for
modeling galaxy properties. #astrocode

A new paper from JOSS for those using cosmological simulations, SOAP provides consistent definitions for calculating galaxy properties across different sims. #astrocode

A simulator for star shades with potential applications for Roman, Habex and the Habitable Worlds Observatory, now on JOSS. #astrocode

If you are on the market for a tool to generate PSFs for space telescopes, check out this new publication from JOSS #astrocode

Fresh off the JOSS press: a new release of Halotools with the inclusion of Intrinsic Alignment. #astronomy #astrocode

A new JOSS paper on FELINE: a library for detection emission line sources in data from MUSE and other 3D cubes. #astronomy #astrocode

A new JOSS paper on cogsworth: a library for binary stellar evolution and galactic dynamics. #astronomy

JOSS is looking for editors, we definitely need some in astronomy and space science. Great community and flexible time commitment. Reach out if you have questions: blog.joss.theoj.org/2024/10/call... #astronomy

New JOSS paper on Bayesian spectral line modeling. Check it out if you fit spectra with complex emission lines! #astronomy

A new JOSS publication: lightcurver! Precise multi-epoch photometry pipeline, great for lensed QSOs, supernovae, Cepheids, works on both isolated and blended targets. #astronomy

Check out this new JOSS publications, ideal for image processing and widely used in the amateur community. #astronomy

What is the Role of Large Language Models in the Evolution of Astronomy Research? ChatGPT and other state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs) are rapidly transforming multiple fields, offering powerful tools for a wide range of applications. These models, commonly trained on va...

One more paper from our group from last week on how astronomers can use LLMs in research. Comments welcome. arxiv.org/abs/2409.20252 #astronomy
