Congratulations to my former student Joshua Pritchard for winning this year's @astrosocaus.bsky.social "Emerging Leaders in Astronomy Software Development Prize" for his software package "DStools". Here's a short write-up: www.atnf.csiro.au/news/recogni... #RadioAstronomy
A panel of three plots.

Left: A dynamic spectrum of a T8 dwarf, generated by the software package dstools. The x-axis is time in hours, the y axis is frequency in MHz.

The colour scheme shows flux density from negative (red) to positive (blue)

Right: Two image cutouts of the source (a T8 dwarf star) showing the source in total intensity and circular polarisation.
