Our release includes an interactive viewer where you can explore the images, display the spectroscopic redshifts (Khostovan et al. 2025) and information from the photometric catalog (including their full SED, photometric redshift, the cutout images in each filter, and the zPDF).

And finally, Shuntov et al. present the catalog, including photometric measurements in 37 bands (including #jwst, #hst, #spitzer, and ground-based telescopes), physical parameters (like redshift and stellar mass), and morphological parameters. arxiv.org/abs/2506.03243

My PhD student Rohan Pattnaik's first paper on the machine learning tool he developed to automatically measure redshifts directly from galaxy spectra, SpecPT, is now out. The results are have surpassed my expectations and I can't wait until we extend this to other datasets! arxiv.org/abs/2501.01070

Second galaxy to the right and straight on until cosmic dawn! This video takes you on a journey through our CEERS JWST images and cosmic history. Every second we travel 200 Million lightyears into the past on our way to Maisie's Galaxy which existed ~13.4 Billion years ago!
