Professor @burcinmp.bsky.social received funding from the National Science Foundation to train AI to hunt for dwarf galaxies, which are among the smallest, faintest objects in the universe.

Our NSF AAG proposal "AI-Powered Discovery of The Faintest Galaxies: Pushing the Galaxy Formation Frontier" got funded! I will be hiring a postdoc this year. Please spread the word! Application deadline is January 15, 2026. aas.org/jobregister/...

Halloween at Physics and Astronomy Department at Dartmouth 👻@dartmouthartsci.bsky.social

We’re also excited to share our brand-new #SEAMLESS paper 📄 with #HST observations of three isolated star-forming dwarf galaxies: Pavo, Corvus A, and Kamino. 🌌 The discovery of Kamino is reported here for the first time! 🚀 👉 arxiv.org/pdf/2509.16307

🚨 Exciting news! 🚨 Our SEAMLESS survey has recently been awarded a new #NSF grant! 🎉 We’re using #AI to uncover and study the faintest dwarf galaxies — pushing the limits of galaxy formation research. @dartmouthartsci.bsky.social

#Dartmouth professors @burcinmp.bsky.social and Elisabeth Newton received #Scialog Collaborative Innovation Awards from @rescorp.org to advance the foundational science needed to realize the full potential of the upcoming Legacy Survey of Space and Time.

RCSA will make 21 separate awards to support the research of 20 scientists from colleges, universities, and research institutions in the U.S. & Canada in Year 1 of #Scialog: Early Science with the LSST. - with @heisingsimonsfdn.bsky.social, Brinson Foundation, Leinweber Foundation & Kevin Wells
